About the Rolex Oyster Perpetual The Oyster Perpetual line represents two of Rolex's defining innovations: the waterproof Oyster case, introduced in 1926, and the self-winding Perpetual rotor, introduced in 1931. By the 1950s, these technologies had established Rolex as one of the leading manufacturers of precision wristwatches. Honeycomb, or "waffle," dials were produced in relatively limited numbers during this period and remain among the most desirable dial variations for collectors today.
