Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 114300: The Discontinued 39mm Dials, Colors and Buying Notes

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 reference 114300 is a 39mm stainless steel, time-only watch that Rolex introduced in 2015 and replaced in 2020 with the 41mm reference 124300. From 2015 to 2020 it was the largest Oyster Perpetual, with the in-house caliber 3132 and a choice of colorful dials. On today's pre-owned market it sits between the current 36mm and 41mm Oyster Perpetuals. Because it is discontinued, any 114300 you buy is a pre-owned or previously sold watch. Bizak & Co. is a sourcing desk: we find a specific unit on request, and nothing here is a stock listing.

What is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 114300?

It is Rolex's 39mm Oystersteel Oyster Perpetual, a simple three-hand watch with no date window, launched in 2015. It was produced from 2015 to 2020. The case is water resistant to 100 meters, and the bracelet is the Oyster style with brushed links and the standard Oysterclasp. It was designed as the plain, durable entry to the Rolex range.

Where did the 39mm sit between the 36 and the 41?

From 2015 to 2020 it was the largest Oyster Perpetual; the 41mm arrived only as its replacement. On today's pre-owned market it sits between the current 36mm and 41mm. The same family offered a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 in a smaller case. In 2020 Rolex retired the 39mm and introduced a 41mm in its place, so the current range jumps from 36mm to 41mm. If you are choosing between sizes, our 36 versus 41 comparison covers wrist fit in more detail.

Which dial colors did the 114300 come in?

The 114300 launched in 2015 with three sunray-finish dials: red grape (a purple-burgundy shade), blue and dark rhodium (a dark grey). Black and white variants were added later, with Time+Tide dating them to 2018. Sources differ on the exact set and timing, and Rolex did not publish a single official list that we can cite, so treat any dial as something to confirm from photographs of the actual watch.

For a closer look at one configuration, see the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm 114300 with black dial, and note that this is a configuration we can source, not a watch on hand.

What movement and specifications does the 114300 have?

It runs the in-house automatic caliber 3132, which sources describe as a Superlative Chronometer with a rate of about plus or minus two seconds a day. Dealer references commonly quote a power reserve of around 48 hours, so a watch left off the wrist for a weekend may need to be wound and reset. The table summarizes the verifiable basics next to its successor.

Why do collectors look for the 114300?

Collectors look for it because 39mm is a discontinued size and its red grape and dark rhodium dials were not carried over; the 41mm 124300 that replaced it went brighter, adding lacquer dials in turquoise blue, yellow, coral red and green. The 39mm wears more compactly than the 41mm, and the grape and blue dials have a following. Being discontinued means no new supply, so condition, completeness and originality matter more than they do on a current model. Price depends on dial, condition and whether the box and papers are included, so we quote each sourced unit individually.

How does the 114300 compare with the 124300 41mm?

The 124300 is larger and has a newer movement with a longer power reserve, while the 114300 is smaller with different original dial colors. If you want the longest reserve and a current-production watch, the 41 mm 134300, which replaced the 124300, is the logical pick. If you prefer a compact case, a purple or blue dial, or a watch that is no longer made, the 114300 is the one to find. Our Oyster Perpetual 41 guide and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 collection cover the newer watch.

What should you check when buying a 114300?

• Dial originality. Ask for clear photographs of the actual dial; refinished dials lower collectability.
• Reference and serial match. Confirm 114300 on the case and that the paperwork matches the watch.
• Case and bracelet condition. Polished-away edges and stretched bracelets are common on older watches.
• Box and papers. A complete set helps, though availability varies by unit.
• Service history. Ask when it was last serviced and by whom.
