The modern best fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches line is Rolex in its most distilled form: nothing complicated, nothing frilly (or fluted) — just hours, minutes, seconds, a smooth, polished bezel, and a simple dial set with graphic baton indices. In 2020, Rolex introduced a lineup of colorful dials to the OP catalog. These were deeply saturated shades, including a fiery coral, a vibrant yolky yellow, a classic Rolex green, Mediterranean turquoise (aka Tiffany blue), and a soft candy pink. With a relatively simple change, the OP morphed from a staid, entry-level sporty design into a years-long waitlisted accessory with a less-than-conventional look.
A reasonably priced (at retail) nod to the rare colors of 1970s-era Stella dial Day-Dates, these top Rolex replica watches quickly became hot commodities after their initial release. Prices on the secondary market skyrocketed, most notably for the Tiffany blue. In May 2022, a “like new” 2021 Oyster Perpetual 41mm (Ref. 124300) with a turquoise blue dial sold at Christie’s Geneva Rare Watches auction for CHF 69,300 (approximately $69,500 USD), representing a premium of 1,177% over its original retail price.
This year, AAA copy Rolex watches is leaning even further into its Pantone color chart capabilities, releasing three new gentle pastel hues. It’s a much softer approach compared to the super-saturated novelties introduced almost five years ago. The colors are not saccharine but muted – a dusty Easter palette. As a lineup, they resemble the thin candy shell coating on Cadbury’s Mini Eggs. There’s a creamy, sandy beige that’s the easiest to wear of the bunch; a lavender that makes me think of ’90s Blumarine minidresses; and a green – officially christened ‘pistachio’ in the catalog – a pale jade shade that reminds me of the inside of a Mozartkugeln chocolate (an Austrian delicacy – would recommend).
I’m not sure if watch brands have the capacity to evoke strong emotions with modern sports watches, but I get the sense that these dials are designed to inspire a sense of calm. The dusty pastel hues are soothing. The Lavender and Pistachio radiate serenity, while the Beige is the perfect shade of creamy vanilla—a warm-toned, calming neutral. These new colors feel sober in comparison to the 2020 high-gloss lacquered dial OPs. They are aggressively muted in contrast to 2023’s celebration dial. Perhaps it’s a mature evolution, a reflection of a more refined fashion climate. Or maybe it’s not that deep and the designers at buy clone Rolex watches just really like pastels.
The current Swiss replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches family is all time-only, produced in Oystersteel, and range in size from 28mm to 41mm. Indeed, it is the only Rolex model available in five different diameters. There is such an extensive panoply of OP configurations that it can be hard to keep track of what color comes in what size case. There have been hundreds of variants of modern OP (pour one out for the discontinued 39mm white dial. May she forever hold a special place in our hearts). See below for a diagram of every dial and size configuration in the current catalog.
There are two new lacquered dial colours: medium blue and black. The sunray-finish blue and black have been discontinued. The silver sunray dial remains part of the catalog. Candy pink, green, and turquoise blue remain lacquered, and pistachio, lavender, and beige have a brand new matt lacquer finish. For a refresher on indices configurations: The 36 and 41 have the double-baton-style marker set, where the three, six, and nine o’clock markers are presented in a double-barrel style (two markers next to each other) and painted squares situated alongside every hour marker on the outside of the track.
The 34 has roman numerals on the outside of the track – a feature unique to its size – with single baton cardinal markers as opposed to double. 28 and 31 have bolded hash marks at every five-minute interval and single baton markers. All dials are manufactured with Chromalight lume.
Outside of new dial variants, there have been some subtle structural changes. Since 2007, the OP line has featured a polished, domed bezel and full satin finishing on the top of the middle case and bracelet. Now, in 2025, the range has undergone several changes. The best-selling fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 watches, in particular, features a slimmer clasp and a subtly redesigned case.
The Oyster Perpetual 28, 31, and 34 are equipped with calibre 2232 (approximately 55 hours of power reserve), while the Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41 are both fitted with calibre 3230 (approximately 70 hours of power reserve). These two movements provide hours, minutes, and seconds. Each configuration is housed in an Oyster case guaranteed water resistant to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet), as confirmed by the Superlative Chronometer certification process.
Sharing the spotlight with the Land-Dweller is no easy feat for any new release this season. The intellectual oddball is bound to get more notice. While these new pastel dials are not a revolutionary breakthrough, they’re surely enough to make you pause during a media scroll. Matte pastels feel like a fresh antidote to all the noise – a palette cleanser for wrists tired of maximalism. A soothing evolution from the previous generation of pop-colored dials.
For most high quality Rolex replica watches UK brands, the design process for a new release is a mixture of creative instinct, necessity, and merchandising: ‘Hey, we need some entry-level, gender-neutral watches with a distinctive hook.’ Enter the “Stella” dial-inspired OP. And hats off to Rolex. Since their cavalcade of brightly hued dials in 2020, there seems to be no escape from the orgy of color consuming the watch industry. Every brand has, and continues to, try its hand at its own variations. Let’s see if the OP line will remain the Pantone color chart of reference for modern watch design.
