OP with Jubilee

[DG123]

Approximately (or specifically) which was the most recent year that Rolex catalog included the OP model with Jubilee style bracelet ?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

You will need to clarify what you need to know as the question is ambiguous, the reason being that model 126234, a 36mm OP Datejust in steel with a Jubilee bracelet is a current model and so is in the catalog now.

Are you wanting information about another model, a 34mm Date or maybe a no date model?

Are you talking about vintage watches?

The model I am curious about is named Oyster Perpetual (not a Datejust or any sort of Oyster Date).

Yes, I suppose it would be vintage. I believe that in the past Rolex has offered Oyster Perpetual (OP) no date models with a Jubilee bracelet.

I think people are asking you what year / era are you referring to?

Oyster Perpetual is a long running series for Rolex. I have one from the 1970s and I'm sure there are even earlier versions. Depending on era, this will determine if they may or may not have come on jubilees.

Yes, you've linked a post of the watch I own and wear. Back then in 2010 and now Rolex OP model is offered with the Oyster bracelet.
But I believe that 20 or 30 years ago Rolex offered its OP (no date) model with a Jubilee bracelet.

The reason I initiated this thread is to learn the year (s) Rolex most recently offered the Jubilee bracelet as an option for the OP model.

I don't believe that a non-date Oyster Perpetual of either 34mm or 36mm case size has ever been offered on a Jubilee bracelet as a catalog item.

Such watches can of course be put together and it possible that some dealers would have changed bracelets at the customer's request, but I don't know what end links they would have used to fit the non-date case.

The most common OPs on a Jubilee bracelet seem to be 34mm case size watches fitted with a 19mm bracelet and 574 end links, as originally used on early Daytonas. These seem to be mostly late 1950s to 1970s watches, but I can find no records of them being catalog items and think that they have been assembled either by the authorized dealer at the original sale or later by an owner or secondary dealer.

Agree with CTech - I’ve been through all 87 of catalogues I have from 1978-1999 and no Op on jubilee has ever featured in the photos, and more importantly none have a jubilee price upgrade in the price list, like say a 16710 did.

Thank you for providing such helpful information:)

Thank you for taking the time to help me, I appreciate it.

Never came across that. Though it’s sounds like a big flex

The reason I posed the question is because I would like to try a Jubilee bracelet
but prefer a non-date Rolex. If there were a past stock model OP that included a Jubilee I would consider buying one from a vintage seller.
