Rolex Oyster Perpetual Tiffany

About the Watch

In the 1970s, Rolex unveiled the now-iconic Stella dials—a collection of Day-Date watches featuring vividly colored lacquered dials. These bold designs marked a striking departure from the brand's traditionally conservative palette, showcasing vibrant shades such as red, green, blue, and yellow. The name "Stella" is believed to derive from the supplier who provided the lacquer, though others speculate it was inspired by the star-like brilliance of the colors. Initially, Stella dials faced limited popularity due to their unconventional look, but they have since become highly coveted by collectors for their rarity and distinctive charm.

In 2020, Rolex honored the legacy of the Stella dials by introducing a new collection of Oyster Perpetual models in equally vibrant colors. Among the highlights of this collection was the Tiffany Blue dial—a striking shade of turquoise that quickly captured the attention of collectors and style-conscious individuals. While Rolex never officially named the color "Tiffany Blue," its connection to the iconic luxury brand was unmistakable.

In 2022, Rolex discontinued the Tiffany Blue dial on the 41mm Oyster Perpetual model, elevating its status as one of the most sought-after modern Rolex watches. Today, the Tiffany Blue dial remains available in the 31mm (Ref. 277200) and 36mm (Ref. 126000) sizes. However, the discontinuation of the 41mm version has only heightened its appeal and market value.

This model comes as a full original set and was never worn.

About the Brand

Known the world over, Rolex is a benchmark for prestige and quality in watchmaking. Since its creation, the brand has placed the reliability of its products uppermost. It submits virtually its entire movement production for testing by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres to obtain COSC certification. Rolex is also renowned for its after-sales service which is performed by staff who have been specially trained, often in Rolex's own schools in countries around the globe, including the United States and Japan. Rolex was founded by Hans Wilsdorf. A Bavarian watchmaker who emigrated to Switzerland, he immediately put his natural flair for products and business acumen at the service of a brand that would soon forge an international reputation. He was succeeded in 1963 by André Heiniger, whose son Patrick took over at the helm in 1992. Bruno Meier in 2009 then Gian Riccardo Marini in 2011 were successively appointed at the head of the business, a limited company (société anonyme) that is wholly owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation. In 2014, Jean-Frédéric Dufour, previously Chief Executive of Zenith, was named as the new CEO. Such a reputation hasn't gone unnoticed among collectors, as recent auction results demonstrate. At a 2013 sale in Geneva, for example, a Daytona Chronograph in steel achieved an absolute record price of US$ 1.1 million. The brand hones its image through associations with prominent and well-respected personalities chosen from the arts and sports. Also, in 1976 Rolex launched its Awards for Enterprise which each year single out innovative projects that promote sustainable development. The Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative gives young artists a privileged opportunity to benefit from the experience of masters in their field
