Rolex Tiffany Blue

What Is the Rolex Tiffany Blue Dial?

Rolex calls the color turquoise blue. Collectors call it Tiffany Blue because the shade sits close to the robin’s-egg tone Tiffany & Co. uses on its boxes — but the modern dial has no connection to the jeweller, and Rolex has never used the name in a catalogue or on a warranty card. The dial arrived in September 2020, when Rolex refreshed the Oyster Perpetual line with a set of lacquered colors. Turquoise landed on the 41 mm reference 124300 and became the one everybody wanted. Waiting lists ran for years and the watch traded well above list for most of its production run. Rolex discontinued it in 2023, replacing turquoise in the 41 mm line with the Celebration motif — the bubble dial carried by reference 124300-0008 — which is why an original -0006 is now a closed set that can only get smaller.

Tiffany & Co. Co-Signed Rolex Dials

There is an older and much rarer meaning of “Tiffany Rolex,” and it has nothing to do with the color. For much of the twentieth century Tiffany & Co. was an authorized Rolex retailer in the United States. Watches sold through its stores could leave with the retailer’s name printed on the dial in small type beneath Rolex’s own — a practice known as double signing, or co-signing. Tiffany was not alone in it: Cartier, Asprey, Beyer, Bucherer, Linz and Serpico y Laino all appear on Rolex dials from the same era. The Rolex–Tiffany arrangement wound down in the early 2000s, which fixed the supply permanently. Double-signed dials are prized because the stamp is evidence of where a watch was sold and roughly when, and because so few survive. Dials were routinely replaced during service — for decades a service centre would swap a worn dial as a matter of course, retailer stamp and all — so a co-signed dial still sitting in its original watch is a genuine survivor. Datejust, Day-Date, Submariner, Daytona and Air-King examples all exist, and a Tiffany signature can lift a watch well above the same reference without one. That premium is exactly why the stamp is faked. Adding a retailer name to an authentic Rolex dial is straightforward, and the aftermarket has produced a great many convincing ones. Font, spacing, ink texture and placement all have to be right for the reference and the period, and the only safe purchase is one where provenance supports the dial — original papers, a documented Tiffany sale, or a credible chain of ownership. Treat an unpapered co-signed Rolex as unverified until an independent specialist has examined the dial in person. We do not have a co-signed Rolex in stock at the moment; they surface rarely and move quickly. We do handle double-signed watches — our vintage Patek Philippe “Tiffany & Co” 3544 is a Tiffany-signed piece currently available — and we buy them outright. If you own one, or you are hunting a specific reference, get in touch.

Which Rolex Models Come in Tiffany Blue

Turquoise is not confined to the 41 mm Oyster Perpetual, although that is the reference most people mean by the name.

• Oyster Perpetual 41 (124300) — the original 2020 turquoise dial, and the watch that made the color famous.
• Oyster Perpetual 36 (126000) — the same lacquered turquoise in the mid-size Oyster case.
• Oyster Perpetual 31 (277200) — the smallest of the modern turquoise dials.
• Day-Date 36 (128238, 128236) — turquoise Roman-numeral dials in yellow gold and platinum, a far scarcer and more expensive proposition than the steel Oyster Perpetuals.
• Cosmograph Daytona (126518LN) — the yellow-gold Daytona whose turquoise dial collectors nicknamed the “Tiffany” Daytona almost immediately.

If you are shopping the color rather than the nickname, our wider Rolex turquoise collection covers every turquoise-dial reference we carry.

Why Collectors Love Rolex Tiffany Blue Watches

• Unmistakable color: it reads across a room, unlike the black, white and silver dials that make up most of the catalogue.
• A closed set: the 41 mm turquoise dial is out of production, so supply only shrinks from here.
• Retail was never realistic: turquoise Oyster Perpetuals were among the hardest Rolex watches to buy at list price.
• Strong value retention: Tiffany Blue models have consistently traded above the references they share a case with.

Buying a Tiffany Blue Rolex

Condition drives price here more than anything else, because lacquer is unforgiving. It shows hairlines and edge chips that a matte dial would hide, so inspect the surface under angled light and pay particular attention to the rehaut and the area around the date aperture. Confirm that dial and hands match the reference and production year, check the bracelet and clasp codes, and ask for the serial before you commit. Every watch we list is authenticated in house before it reaches the site, and each listing carries its reference and condition so you can compare like for like.
