Has Anyone Seen a Oyster Perpetual 41 in teal at an AD?

I have been looking for a year now and no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Buying it. Maybe certain ADs? I have had my AD on alert for a year now I’m getting a little frustrated the leader models should be easily available IMO.

The turquoise OPs are listed at $18k on the grey market. No way you'll ever see one at an AD.

Clearly the colourful dials are not hitting ADs in large numbers and demand is far outstripping supply.

The teal in particular goes grey for three times retail.

The chances of anyone passing up on this and tipping you off about it and then the AD actually selling it to you are realistically about zero.

I couldn’t even find or get any hopes for finding a dark blue dial, which I was told should be one of the easier ones to find. I think the turquoise might be the hardest to find.

I paid $1500 over AD price and glad I did. Been wearing my new OP a lot!!!

If you hope to find one in the next few years, I think grey is the only way...

Impossible. That model was introduced on September 1, 2020 — less than nine months ago.

No, they’re in high demand. You won’t see one in a window.

I put in an order right after release for the 41 Turq and the Coral. Got the Turq in Dec and the Coral in March.

At the time, ADs were not sure they would be a hit.

Now super hard to get.


Given so few on the gray market either Rolex is really limiting supply or ADs are just putting them in the safe to drive up value/prices.

Love the Turq but didn’t take to the Coral.

Unless you're VVVVVIP or they are traveling road show dummy models, you will likely never see one in the flesh at an AD. AD might bring one out to show you that's likely been allocated to buyer already.

I have heard the OP 41 Turquoise is one the more harder watches to get along with the BLRO. Not as hard as SkyD blue or Daytona SS White, but still challenging for sure.

I received the 2nd turquoise OP41 they received but traded for a Pepsi in December. It's a great knock around watch at $5-6k. Today's prices are hilarious for such a basic watch.

I have. Bought one last month. It’s a great looking summer watch. Not an everyday’er though.
