History of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is one of Rolex's most iconic watch models and has a rich history. First introduced in 1926, the watch was the world's first waterproof and self-winding watch. The name "Oyster" refers to the watch's waterproof case, while "Perpetual" refers to its automatic winding mechanism. One of the most significant achievements of the Oyster Perpetual was in 1927, when English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze crossed the English Channel with an Oyster Perpetual on her wrist. This achievement brought much publicity and confirmed the waterproofness and reliability of the watch.
