Going into this year, I had strong first impressions—but the real test was seeing everything in the metal. And overall? This was a very strong, very intentional year for Rolex. Not revolutionary, not headline-grabbing in the traditional sense—but a clear display of refinement, materials innovation, and long-term brand strategy.
In this video, I walk through teyana taylor every major Rolex 2026 release I experienced hands-on, including:
- The Oyster Perpetual 100 Year Anniversary (Two-Tone) – a surprising centerpiece celebrating a century of the Oyster case, with subtle design cues and unexpected execution

- Full 18k Gold Oyster Perpetual 28 & 34 – a modern take on historic Oyster roots
