The smallest current Oyster Perpetual: no date, no gold, just the Oyster case at 28mm. It is the most affordable new Rolex there is.
It arrived in 2020 with the bright color dials that made the whole OP line famous, and the rarer colors briefly traded far above retail during the 2022 frenzy.
Prices have settled close to retail, which makes it the calm, honest entry point into Rolex ownership today.
The discontinued bright dials are the collector angle; silver and blue are the everyday picks.
Our verdict: B: the best first Rolex for a small wrist. Colors are the upside, standard dials are the value.
