The Rolex Pearlmaster 39

Rolex has been producing quality watches since 1905 and is recognised worldwide as a leading brand in the Swiss watch industry. The wristwatch was originally only worn by women as a fashion accessory as it was inaccurate and fragile, until Rolex invented the hermetically sealed Oyster case to make wristwatches reliable and preserve their precision.

Popular British actress Evelyn Laye demonstrates the waterproof qualities of her Rolex Oyster in the late 1920s.

The Pearlmaster 39

The Oyster Perpetual Pearlmaster is synonymous with elegance and brilliance. Designed to be gem-set, it exalts Rolex’s art of jewelling.  A pearl in the Oyster collection, the Pearlmaster perpetuates with supreme refinement and gently rounded styling the tradition of the emblematic Datejustmodel.

The Pearlmaster, in a case with gracious lines, features the famous calendar in a window with a Cyclops lens for easy reading and is fitted with a harmoniously contoured Pearlmaster bracelet. The broader bezel lends itself ideally to being gem set. On some models, precious stones pave the dials or appear on the case lugs and bracelet links.

Model features
The Pearlmaster dials are available in a wide range of colours and materials that blend perfectly with the rest of the watch. The hues are sublime, the beauty of the surfaces expertly rendered. Depending on the version, mother-of-pearl offers a poetic aura of mystery in an interplay of nuances and beguiling reflections. The diamond-paved versions are a picture of elegant sophistication. For their part, the appliques, whether diamonds in gold settings or elegant gold numerals – including some with signature gem-setting – make every reading of the time a pure delight.

The 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold on a Pearlmaster shines with a special radiance. Rolex has its own foundry and alloys its gold using the purest raw materials. From casting to the shaping and polishing of the gold, everything is carried out with meticulous care to ensure the uncompromising quality of Rolex gold watches. Everose, an exclusive pink gold alloy patented by Rolex, owes its unique hue to its special composition that preserves the pink colour over time.

Like all Rolex watches, each Pearlmaster is certified as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation attests that it has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories and according to its own criteria, which exceed watchmaking norms and standards. These tests are carried out on the fully assembled watch, in order to guarantee its superlative performance on the wrist.

The Pearlmaster’s peerless grace is equalled by the technical qualities that it has in common with every Oyster. The Oyster case of the Pearlmaster, guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet), is a paragon of robustness and elegance. The waterproof case provides the Pearlmaster’s high-precision movement with optimal protection.

According to the size, the Oyster Perpetual Pearlmaster is equipped with calibre 2235, 2236 or 3235 (29, 34 and 39 mm versions), self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Their architecture, manufacturing and innovative features make them singularly precise and reliable.

With its soft lines, the Pearlmaster bracelet gives the watch a highly individual character and offers the wearer maximum comfort. On some models, it is also graced with diamonds. A subtle echo of the bezel, the magnificent gem-setting provides the finishing touch to an authentic gem in watchmaking.
