When Rolex introduced the Oyster Perpetual 41mm in 2020, the Oyster Perpetual 124300 quickly became a favorite for many people. The 41mm case was paired with bold and colorful dial options. After so many years of popularity and attention, Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 released a new reference number 134300 in 2025. This one replaced the older version OP 124300.

The Rolex OP 41mm is one of the most in-demand models in the Oyster Perpetual line. The Rolex 124300 became popular not only for its look but also because of some rare dials like  Tiffany Blue, coral red, and yellow. Now, the new Rolex 134300 brings some changes. Let’s look at what is different and what stays the same.

Dial Colors

The most noticeable change from the Rolex 124300 to the Rolex 134300 is the dial color update, even if you're not a Rolex collector. The Rolex 124300 came with shiny and bright lacquer dials. The dial colors included turquoise blue, coral red, yellow, green, silver, black, and blue. Some of these dial colors were removed early, like yellow and red. There was also a special “Celebration” dial that Rolex Oyster Perpetual does not make anymore.

In the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 134300, the dials have a soft, matte finish with pastel tones instead of a shiny look. The new colors are pistachio, candy pink, lavender, beige, silver, med blue, black, and green. Some colors stay the same, like black, silver, green, and turquoise. But the blue dial changed. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300 blue was dark and shiny. The new Rolex Oyster Perpetual 134300 med blue is lighter and matte. The new colors give a fresh and more modern look.

Case Design

For the case design, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300 and the OP 134300 watches both have the same case size and case thickness. They are 41mm wide and 11.6mm thick. But the lugs on the Oyster Perpetual 134300 are slimmer than before. This small change makes the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 look smoother and sit better on the wrist.

Crown

Both the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 134300 and 124300 are equipped with the Twinlock waterproof system. The difference is that the crown on the Rolex OP 41 134300 is slightly larger, likely to better match the proportions of the Oyster Perpetual 41mm case.

Bracelet

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 134300 and 124300 watches use the Oyster bracelet made from strong Oystersteel. The bracelet itself is the same, but the clasp on the Rolex OP 41 134300 is slimmer. This makes it feel a bit lighter and more comfortable.

Movement

Inside the watch, nothing changed. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 134300 and 124300 use the Calibre 3230. This movement has a 70-hour power reserve. It is automatic and works very well. The water resistance is still 100 meters.

Market and Investment Outlook (as of January 2026)

The retail price for the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm 124300 was $6,000. Since the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300 is no longer made, prices could go up by dial. The basic dial colors like black, silver, and blue are around $8,000 dollars. These prices have stayed stable and may go a bit higher with time. The rare dials from the Oyster Perpetual 124300, like Red, Yellow, Turquoise, and Celebration, are much more expensive. They now cost around $20,000 dollars. These are hard to find, and many people want them. They can be a good investment, but their prices can also change quickly.

The new Oyster Perpetual pistachio, lavender, and beige dials have been very popular since they were released. The retail price is $7,050 dollars for all models, but they are hard to find in stores. On the resale market, these dials are listed for around $13,000 dollars. The regular colors like silver, black, green, and med blue are around $10,000 dollars. Oyster Perpetual Candy Pink’s price is even higher, around $18,000 dollars. This shows that there is a strong interest in the new colors, too.

Final Thoughts

The move from the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300 to the 134300 shows that Rolex is trying new things. The new dial colors are softer and may appeal more to younger people. At the same time, Rolex also made small changes to improve how the watch feels on the wrist.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 124300 is still a classic. It had bright colors and a bold look. The Rolex OP 134300 is quieter but fresh. Both watches have something special. If you like fun and rare dials, the Rolex OP124300 might be better. If you want a new style with soft tones, the Rolex OP 134300 is a great pick.

No matter which one you choose, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm is still one of the best and most versatile Rolex watches you can collect.
