Oyster Perpetual (Turquoise Blue)

The vivid turquoise blue dial—often nicknamed “Tiffany Blue” by collectors—offers a playful, modern take on the classic Oyster Perpetual. Paired with the Oyster bracelet and a clean, no‑date layout, it wears effortlessly as a daily luxury Rolex watch.

Sky-Dweller (Blue Dial)

Combining annual calendar and dual‑time functionality, the Sky‑Dweller became especially sought after in its blue dial configuration. The fluted bezel and bold dial make a strong statement while retaining everyday practicality.

Submariner “Smurf”

Known colloquially as the “Smurf” for its striking blue dial and matching blue Cerachrom bezel, the white‑gold Submariner pairs professional dive capability with precious‑metal luxury. The lacquered blue dial gives a rich, glossy effect.

Datejust (Blue Dial)

An enduring classic with wide variation. Sunray blue dials, smooth or fluted bezels and Oyster or Jubilee bracelets allow you to tailor the look from sporty to dressy. A versatile choice for both men and women.
