The reference 124300 represents the Oyster Perpetual 41 with a turquoise blue dial configuration. This particular series distinguishes itself through the distinctive dial colorway within the 41mm Oyster Perpetual range. The turquoise blue dial variant offers an alternative to traditional dial colors in the collection.
The 41mm case is constructed from Oystersteel with a smooth fixed bezel. A sapphire crystal protects the turquoise blue dial surface. The watch operates via automatic movement and maintains water resistance to 100 meters. The case diameter positions this reference as the larger option within the contemporary Oyster Perpetual lineup.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a contemporary Rolex sports watch with unconventional dial coloring. The 41mm case size accommodates modern sizing preferences while the turquoise blue dial provides visual distinction from standard dial offerings. The combination of Oystersteel construction and automatic movement delivers the fundamental characteristics expected from the Oyster Perpetual collection in a distinctive colorway execution.
Interestingly, I didnโt love this dial when it first came out. Iโve grown to appreciate the whimsical nature of it!
As much as I know you are all in for colours, Iโm surprised by this one. I love this watch. If there were another variant, without the same base dial colour as my OP36 Iโd be in. Just donโt put this on a white rubber strap. Stays on steel I think.
