Overview
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39, reference 114300, represents the marque's distilled philosophy: a clean, sports-capable three-hand watch stripped of complication and pretension. Produced from 2015 to 2020, it occupies the middle ground of the Oyster Perpetual size range, offering a 39 mm Oystersteel case that suits a broad range of wrists. Its palette of dial options — from classic rhodium and black to the distinctive blue and "white grape" — gave collectors meaningful variety within a deliberately restrained design language.
History
The reference 114300 arrived as Rolex expanded the Oyster Perpetual line into multiple distinct case sizes, acknowledging the era's appetite for watches that sat between the traditional 36 mm and the larger sport references. It was powered by the Calibre 3132, a self-winding movement incorporating Rolex's Parachrom hairspring for improved resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The reference ran for approximately five years before Rolex retired it, a relatively brief production window that has since sharpened collector interest in certain dial variants. Among those, the "white grape" rhodium-toned dial developed a following disproportionate to its understated appearance.
Notable points
- Case material is Oystersteel, Rolex's proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy, known for its corrosion resistance and high polish retention.
- Calibre 3132 features a Parachrom hairspring in a paramagnetic niobium-zirconium alloy, offering greater stability than conventional hairsprings.
- Dial variants included rhodium ("white grape"), blue, black, and white — an unusually broad colour range for a no-complication Rolex reference.
- Production ran from 2015 to 2020, making the 114300 one of the shorter-lived modern Oyster Perpetual references.
- The 39 mm diameter positioned the watch as a deliberate middle option between the classic 36 mm Oyster Perpetual and the larger Submariner-family cases.
