In the 1920s the founder of Rolex watches was having trouble opening an oyster shell. He had the idea to create the first airtight and watertight watch similar to an oyster shell. The watch was also the first self winding watch or "perpetual".
Wrong Jane. "perpetual" is the smooth never-ending movement of the second hand. Has nothing to do with the winding.
Rolex made their watches water proof just like an oyster which can close tightly that water cannot sip in. that's is y u can see Oyster Perpetual in every Rolex timepieces.
The term "Oyster Perpetual" refers to a specific type of watch created by Rolex. The "Oyster" part signifies its waterproof case design, resembling an oyster shell that protects the internal components, while "Perpetual" refers to its self-winding movement, which harnesses energy from the wearer's wrist movements. This innovative combination made the watch both durable and reliable, establishing a new standard in horology.
