After the big impact of Rolex's main release in 2025, the much discussed, technical and unexpected land-dweller, this year it is time for the crown to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the legendary Oyster case. And that's why the focus of the year is on the playful entry-level collection Oyster Perpetual. But that's not all Rolex has in store for 2026, as we've seen with the Rolesium Daytona or the new, complex Yacht-Master II. And now, without further ado, here is a full photo report of the new models for Rolex at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026.
Daytona Rolesium Enamel Dial 125602
This new version of the Daytona is a non-catalogue release and combines a case made mostly of steel paired with a platinum bezel ring and an open caseback called Rolesium. An important novelty can be seen on the bezel, made of anthracite ceramic composed of zirconium oxide enriched with tungsten carbide. The scale also has a vintage border with horizontal numbers. The dial is also special not only because of its albino look, but also because of its material, as this white enamel dial is applied using the Grand Feu process on ceramic plates mounted on a brass base. The movement is the classic caliber 4131 with gold rotor and the price is 56,160 euros.
Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 in anniversary gold
This name hides a new alloy with a more subtle gold tone, based on the classic Day-Date 40 base. The dial is cut from light green aventurine and features an hour circle made of ten baguette-cut diamonds. This reference 228235 is also a piece outside the catalog.
Oyster Perpetual 41 100th Anniversary Edition
The new Oyster Perpetual 41, Rolex's most basic watch, is presented with a subtle but meaningful twist on Rolesor. Instead of the usual two-tone finish, yellow gold is reserved for the bezel and Twinlock crown, while the entire bracelet remains in Oystersteel. The slate-colored dial with a sunburst finish reflects the anniversary theme in a reserved manner. The signature “100 Years” replaces “Swiss Made” at 6 o’clock, a reference that can also be found on the crown. The watch is powered by caliber 3230 and is priced at: 9,400 euros. A 36mm version is also available.
Oyster Perpetual 36 with multicolored anniversary dial
This anniversary motif, based on the brand's aesthetic heritage, is actually a complex process as the colors are not applied all at once. The new version of the Oyster Perpetual 36 is made of Oystersteel and is powered by the caliber 3230.
Oyster Perpetual 28 and Oyster Perpetual 34 in solid gold
Normally considered an entry-level model, the brand upgrades the OP with two new solid gold models (Yellow or Everose) based on the compact 34 and small 28 models. They feature a blue stone lacquer or green stone lacquer dial paired with natural stone – a first for Rolex – for the markers.
Datejust 41 with green ombre dial
This new model, a classic Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41 in a white Rolesor version, presents a new, fully lacquered dial – a first for an ombré dial since the pattern was reintroduced. Green varnish is applied to the base plate, then, as with all ombré dials, the color gradient is created by concentric spraying of black varnish.
The new generation of the Rolex Yacht-Master II
Rolex's complex regatta chronograph is back, in a fundamentally updated version and a sleeker look. The new reference is available in Oystersteel or 18k yellow gold. 126680 and Ref. 126688 continues the tradition of this unique collection, launched in 2007 and redefined in 2017 with a newly developed movement. A rather complex update that you can discover here.
