Rolex Oyster Perpetual 76193

The case measures 24mm across. Case material: Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold (Rolesor). Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, Rolex Cal. 2231. Power reserve is 42 hours. It beats at 28,800 vph. The movement uses 31 jewels.

It is rated to 100 meters, about 328 feet. That is enough for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Rolex produced this reference from 2000 to 2012. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

76 = small OP case generation; 193 = two-tone, Jubilee bracelet. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

OP 24 Two-Tone Jubilee. Collector nicknames are not official Rolex names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
