Rolex Soft Launches Lavender & Pink OP 41 Dials Ahead of Price Hikes

Rolex has quietly introduced new Candy Pink and Lavender dials for the Oyster Perpetual 41—an unusual mid-cycle move. While the timing raises questions, it hints at a larger strategy ahead of expected changes in the market.

Rolex quietly added Candy Pink and Lavender dials to the Oyster Perpetual 41 lineup. An unusual move, as Rolex almost never updates models outside of their annual Watches & Wonders release cycle. So why now?

This mid-cycle addition might be strategic. With a widely-expected major retail price increase in early 2026, Rolex may be building more “high-demand” configurations that trade over retail. Models that command a premium on the secondary market often help Authorized Dealers incentivize buyers to also purchase slower-moving or precious metal pieces.

Right now, early resale ask prices are landing around $16k-$17k, a bit more more than double retail. As initial hype cools, these will likely settle closer to $11k–$13k, still a healthy premium for an OP.

In short, these new OP41 dials weren’t just a quiet release, they may be a strategic setup for what’s coming next.
