ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL 34 Ref. 14238M 18k Yellow Gold Rivet Oyster Bracelet Gold Colour Dial Box Bj-2002

We are pleased to present this wonderfully understated example of one of Rolex's most enduring designs: the Oyster Perpetual 34, Ref. 14238M, executed entirely in 18 carat yellow gold. 

Where many Rolex references chase complications and calendar functions, the Oyster Perpetual has always stood for the opposite philosophy, offering nothing more than hours, minutes, and seconds, delivered with total reliability and Rolex's characteristic restraint.

The 34mm case, finished with the brand's traditional fluted bezel in solid yellow gold, presents a compact and versatile silhouette that wears equally well on a formal cuff or a casual sleeve. Without a date window or Cyclops lens to interrupt its clean lines, the dial side of this watch is a study in simplicity, its gold coloured dial and applied baton markers catching the light in a way that only solid gold can achieve.

At the heart of the watch beats Rolex's proven automatic movement, offering the quiet, dependable chronometry the brand has built its reputation on for over a century. Housed within the Oyster case, the watch benefits from Rolex's renowned water resistant construction and the reassurance of a movement built to run for decades with minimal intervention.

Completing the watch is its 18 carat yellow gold Oyster bracelet in the earlier riveted link construction, a design detail that gives this example a distinctly vintage character compared to the solid link bracelets found on later production. The riveted Oyster bracelet, together with the fluted bezel, gives this reference an unmistakably classic Rolex presence on the wrist.

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34 Ref. 14238M is offered as a set consisting of:

- Rolex presentation box

- Gold dial

- Rivet Oyster gold bracelet

- 2002

"The Oyster Perpetual 34 in solid gold is Rolex distilled to its purest form, no date, no complications, simply time told with total  confidence."
