Rolex Oyster Perpetual 4961 Description

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 4961 is a mid-sized automatic chronometer from the early 1950s. Its significance lies in offering the complete “Oyster Perpetual” package—a water-resistant, self-winding, chronometer-certified watch—in a more modest 30mm case size. This made the brand’s flagship technology accessible to a wider range of wearers. It is a classic example of Rolex’s post-war refinement of the “Bubbleback” design.
