Rolex Oyster Perpetual 67197

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 67197 was introduced in the late 1980s and produced through the early 2000s as a ladies’ model that combined elegance with practical design. Featuring a 26 mm case crafted from stainless steel, the watch was accented with an 18k white gold fluted bezel and typically paired with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet. At its core was the Rolex Caliber 2135, an automatic, chronometer-certified movement known for its durability and precision, offering a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The case was approximately 10.5 mm thick, with a lug-to-lug measurement of 32.5 mm and a lug width of 13 mm. Dial options ranged from classic silver, white, and black to more elaborate mother-of-pearl or diamond-set designs, usually paired with applied white gold baton or Roman numeral hour markers. With 100 meters of water resistance and a robust Oyster case construction, the 67197 blended formal aesthetics with Rolex’s reliable everyday performance. Today, the reference remains a refined choice for collectors and wearers seeking a compact Rolex with white gold accents and timeless styling.
