You'll choose between 116-prefix models with caliber 4130 and the 2023 126-series running caliber 4131, recognizable by its revised bracelet and skeletonized rotor.

We check the Oyster case and Perpetual movement closely, because steel sports references like the Daytona regularly clear retail prices. Browse all Rolex ›
