Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 “Celebration”: Full Market Analysis
An in-depth look at the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 “Celebration”: price trends, market performance, and insights from exclusive data
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 “Celebration” Ref. 124300-0008 stands out as one of the most unexpected and vibrant creations from the Geneva-based maison in recent years.
Introduced in 2023, this reference is distinguished by a unique dial featuring a shower of red, green, orange, pink, and blue colored bubbles on a turquoise background, echoing all the colors used for the dials of the Oyster Perpetuals launched in 2020.
the 124300-0008 thus seems to pay homage to that palette with a design that blends them all together, giving a sense of celebration of Rolex creativity and identity, hence the nickname “Celebration.”
The demand for this watch in recent years has been very high and most likely will be even higher now that Rolex has decided to discontinue this model after only 2 years.
Secondary Market Performance
Over the past year, the Celebration has seen a slight dip, around -3%, compared to its value in April 2024.
However, in recent months the trend has turned sharply upward, with a spike starting around March, when early rumors of its discontinuation began circulating. The rally continued into April once the news was confirmed. From January to today, the Celebration has appreciated by +19.87%, rising from €15,275 to €19,446.
Compared to its original retail price, the watch’s secondary market value highlights its desirability — during its time in production, it retailed for €6,400 in boutiques, meaning it now trades at a remarkable +203.84% above retail.
Cumulated Listings
Thanks to our database, we can analyze all the listings posted on major marketplaces. During the examined period, we observed a significant increase in the number of models listed for sale.
The listing growth was relatively consistent, with a slight dip between January and February, followed by a noticeable spike between March and April, coinciding with both the rumors and confirmation of the model’s discontinuation.
Listings and Sold
To better understand the dynamics of the market, it is useful to analyze how many watches are put up for sale each month and how many are actually sold.
The same decline seen in listings during January and February 2025 is reflected in the number of units sold. However, in March, nearly as many watches were sold as had been listed in the two previous months combined, sales even exceeded 100 units.
Final Thoughts
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 “Celebration” is proving to be one of the most interesting and sought-after references in recent years, thanks to its bold design and rarity.
Its discontinuation has only fueled further demand, solidifying its status as a collector’s item. If the current market trend continues, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the value of the Celebration rise even higher in the coming months, driven by increasing demand and dwindling supply.
