In our inventory, pre-owned 26 mm watches are usually the least expensive way into a small Rolex. The price of any single watch comes down to the metal, any diamonds on the bezel or dial, the bracelet, the condition, and whether the box and papers are included.

Small Rolex Sizes, From 26 mm to 29 mm

Rolex measures the case diameter without the crown. In this collection, the size tells you which generation a watch belongs to as much as how it fits.

Size	Models in this collection	Status
26 mm	Lady-Datejust 179xxx and earlier 69xxx references; Oyster Perpetual 26 (176200, 76183)	Discontinued, pre-owned only
28 mm	Lady-Datejust 279xxx; Oyster Perpetual 28 (276200)	In the current Rolex catalog
29 mm	Pearlmaster 29 in solid gold (80318, 80319, 80298, 80299, 80315)	Discontinued, pre-owned only

Choose 28 mm if you want a model Rolex still makes. To browse a single size, see our 26 mm Rolex collection or our 28 mm Rolex collection. For the gold Pearlmaster in every size, see our Rolex Pearlmaster watches.

What Is the Smallest Rolex?

The smallest Rolex you can buy new today measures 28 mm: the Lady-Datejust and the Oyster Perpetual 28. On its own website, Rolex groups them with the 31 mm Datejust as its small sizes. The 26 mm Lady-Datejust and Oyster Perpetual 26 were smaller still. Rolex has replaced both with today’s 28 mm models, so they are now available only pre-owned. The smallest watches in our inventory are 26 mm.

How a Small Rolex Wears

A Rolex from 26 mm to 28 mm sits well within a slim wrist and slides easily under a cuff, which is why these sizes are the classic choice for a dress watch. Every Pearlmaster in this collection is solid gold on a matching gold Pearlmaster bracelet. For a little more presence without leaving the Datejust family, look at the Rolex Datejust 31. For every ladies’ Datejust size in one place, see Rolex Datejust Lady.

Unworn or Pre-Owned

Our unworn small Rolex watches are current 28 mm models, mostly the Lady-Datejust. Pre-owned watches cover every size, and they are the only way to buy a 26 mm model or a Pearlmaster 29, since Rolex no longer makes either. To narrow the list, use the Condition, Case Size and Bracelet Type filters, which also let you choose between Jubilee, Oyster and President bracelets.

Small Rolex FAQs

What size is a small Rolex?

In this collection, a small Rolex measures from 26 mm to 29 mm across the case. In its current catalog, Rolex calls the 28 mm and the 31 mm its small sizes.

Does Rolex still make a 26 mm watch?

No. Rolex replaced the Oyster Perpetual 26 with the Oyster Perpetual 28 in 2020, and the Lady-Datejust now measures 28 mm. A 26 mm Rolex today is a pre-owned watch.

What is the difference between the Lady-Datejust and the Oyster Perpetual 28?

The Lady-Datejust shows the date under a Cyclops magnifier at 3 o’clock and comes with a smooth, fluted or diamond-set bezel on a Jubilee, Oyster or President bracelet. The Oyster Perpetual 28 has no date, a smooth bezel and an Oyster bracelet, which makes it the simpler of the two and, in Oystersteel, the less expensive.
