Rolex 134303-0001 Oyster Perpetual 41mm Oystersteel Yellow Rolesor Slate 100 Years Watch

Rolex 134303-0001 Oyster Perpetual 41mm Oystersteel Yellow Rolesor Slate 100 Years Watch

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 Ref. 134303-0001 is the centennial flagship of the 2026 collection — a watch that commemorates 100 years of the Oyster case with a restrained but deeply meaningful set of details. The yellow gold bezel and Twinlock crown contrast with the all-steel bracelet and case in a Rolesor configuration unique to this reference, while the slate dial carries the inscription “100 Years” at 6 o’clock in place of the usual “Swiss Made.”

100 Years — A Centennial in Slate

The slate sunray dial of the 134303-0001 is measured and confident — a surface that communicates significance without theatrics. At 6 o’clock, “100 Years” replaces the usual Swiss Made inscription. The winding crown carries “100” in relief. Each five-minute marker on the minute track is rendered in Rolex’s signature green, and the brand name is pad-printed in that same green — a colour that has become Rolex’s primary anniversary language. This is a watch that rewards inspection rather than demanding attention.

Yellow Rolesor — A Configuration for the Centenary

The 134303-0001 presents yellow gold exclusively on the bezel and winding crown — the two elements most visible in use — while the case flanks and the entire Oyster bracelet remain in Oystersteel. This specific Rolesor configuration has not appeared on the Oyster Perpetual in the modern era, making it an unmistakably centennial expression. The yellow gold domed bezel references the earliest Oyster watches of the 1920s, when two-tone metal combinations were standard on the collection.

Calibre 3230 — 2026 Superlative Chronometer

The automatic Calibre 3230 features the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers, delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Every 2026 Rolex is certified to the strengthened Superlative Chronometer standard — now incorporating additional criteria related to magnetism, reliability, and sustainability.
