The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 is Rolex's 36 mm, time-only watch: the current steel 126000 (calibre 3230, about 70 hours of power reserve) is listed from $9,114 in our 126000 listings, the 2026 yellow Rolesor 126003 from $12,804, and the earlier 116000 shown below from $7,159. Every piece is sourced to order, so you see real photos and today's price first, and a $200 deposit credited to the price reserves it.
All three references have a 36 mm Oyster case, a domed bezel, an Oystersteel Oyster bracelet and no date. The reference number tells you the generation and the metal:

Rolex introduced calibre 3230 in 2020 and fitted it to that year's new Oyster Perpetual 36 versions; both current references are waterproof to 100 metres and certified as Superlative Chronometers. The US retail prices above are the suggested prices that Mayors, an Official Rolex Jeweler, showed on 12 October 2026.
Rolex launched the 126003 at Watches and Wonders 2026 to mark 100 years of the Oyster case. Unlike most Rolesor models it has no gold centre links: only the bezel and the winding crown are yellow gold, while the case middle and the whole bracelet stay Oystersteel. The slate dial, a new colour for the Oyster Perpetual range, reads "100 years" at 6 o'clock instead of the usual "Swiss Made", prints the Rolex name and the five-minute markers in green, and the crown carries a small "100" in relief. Our 126003 listing asks from $12,804, against $8,450 suggested retail.

Mayors, an Official Rolex Jeweler, showed suggested US retail prices of $6,750 for the steel 126000 with a turquoise dial (M126000-0006) and $8,450 for the yellow Rolesor 126003 (M126003-0001) on 12 October 2026. On the secondary market our live asks that day started at $9,114 for a 126000, $12,804 for a 126003 and $6,509 for an earlier 116000, and the multicolour Jubilee-motif dial asked $20,299.
Both are 36 mm Oystersteel watches with a domed bezel, an Oyster bracelet and no date. The 126000, made since 2020, runs Rolex calibre 3230 with about 70 hours of power reserve; the 116000 it replaced runs calibre 3130 with about 48 hours. The dial palettes differ too.
No. The 126000 is a current model: Rolex added matte lavender, beige and pistachio dials in 2025, and in 2026 a multicolour Jubilee-motif dial and the yellow Rolesor 126003 with a slate "100 years" dial. Only the earlier 116000 has been replaced, by the 126000 in 2020.
No. It shows hours, minutes and seconds only. If you want a date window in a 36 mm Rolex, look at the Datejust 36.
It depends on the wrist rather than on who wears it. The Oyster Perpetual 36 measures 36 mm across and under 12 mm thick, with 20 mm between the lugs. For more presence, the Oyster Perpetual 41 keeps the same design in a 41 mm case; for a slimmer wrist, see the Oyster Perpetual 34.
The 116000 pieces in this collection are listed as brand new (unworn), from $7,159. Our 126000 listings include new and pre-owned pieces. Each watch is sourced to order, inspected before dispatch under our buyer-protection terms and shipped insured.
