Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 "Concentric Dial" - Men's Automatic Watch

About the Item

For sale is a Swiss Made Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 men's watch with reference number 116000, dating back to the year 2009. It features a 36mm stainless steel case with smooth polished bezel. The dial on this particular example is quite special, and known as a "concentric dial". It comes in a glossy black finish, with the text "Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" written within concentric circles. Luminous polished stick hands indicate the time on luminous Arabic numerals. Inside the watch sits a Rolex 3130 movement, one of Rolex's most highly regarded mechanical movements. The screw-down crown is original, decorated with the Rolex crown logo. Fitted to the watch comes the original stainless steel Oyster bracelet with signed clasp. The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in good overall condition considering its age. The dial is looking really clean, with crisp text and undamaged finish. You will find wear marks on both the case and bracelet, most notably on the smooth bezel and sides of the case. Said case has been cleaned entirely, but left unpolished to maintain its sharp edges, curves and original finish. The wear marks are superficial and could be polished out with relative ease. There are a few minor marks to the crystal, but it is otherwise in good condition still. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch comes without service history but has been thoroughly checked and is working perfectly within Chronometer specification. Sold as a watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are present with this piece. Please note that the bracelet will currently fit wrists with a circumference of approximately 17cm at maximum. Decreasing the size is easily done by removing some bracelet links. In order to extend the bracelet size past the current maximum of 17cm, spare links will have to be sourced online or at a dealership. Alternatively, the bracelet can be interchanged for any strap or bracelet with 20mm lug width in order to accommodate any wrist size. Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.

While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.

Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula.

But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.

But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.

Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.

The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.
