When a Queen Rocks a Rolex

Someone's allocated OP was worn by a queen.

Britain's Queen Camilla tried on a 31mm Oyster Perpetual with a turquoise-blue dial on Monday during her visit to a Rolex authorized dealer in Swindon, England, the latest sign of the power of that dial color in the Rolex collection.

We're told she went to the 175-year-old family-run jeweler not to shop for a Rolex but to bring in a vintage Breitling for repairs though it's unclear whom in the royal family the watch belongs to.

Queen Camilla seemed interested in all things watches, checking out vintage pieces and taking a tour of the sixth-generation workshop, where she spoke to a young female watchmaker. Also in attendance was Deacon & Son's manager director Richard Deacon and, of course, Richard de Leyser, the CEO of Rolex UK, who had been briefed of her visit.

Queen Camilla didn’t pull the trigger on the Tiffany-dial OP, we’re told. That could be a future gift idea for King Charles III. After all, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.
