Oyster Perpetual

BUY AT ROLEX

Though this watch is almost damn near impossible to get, this is still one of Rolex’s best-values timepieces and arguably one of the most important watches in watch history. It started the trend of $5,000 entry watches across the industry — a standard practice among the biggest watchmakers. The Oyster Perpetual is beloved because of its contradicting nature. The watch Oyster Perpetual is Rolex’s flagship — a brand synonymous with the highest levels of luxury. But the watch itself is understated and extremely simple. The watch features a smooth polished bezel, a dateless dial, and a simple snap-fit clasp.

There is no ceramic bezel, over-the-top water-resistance, or skeletonized features here. It’s just a simple stainless steel watch with a historic and slightly old-school movement that will run for decades. And, have you ever seen a Rolex in person? The finishing watch is nothing like you’ve seen before. Dubbed Oystersteel, the steel alloy is specific to Rolex. Regarding anti-corrosion properties and overall look, Oystersteel is comparable to some precious materials. Overall, I still firmly believe this is one of the best watches you can buy at this price point. It’s a watch that carries so much history. For me, that’s what makes a watch special. Also, there is a solid chance that these watches will continue to rise in value if that’s your thing.
