Why hasn’t Rolex made a full calendar perpetual watch?

They did once and am sure they will again

The Daytona used the el primero movement for years. Does anyone consider it less of a Rolex than the 4130?

Again what is the point? Where is the market for it? And heading into recession doesn’t seem like the best time to even be thinking about something like that. And as the public is ever turning away from mechanical watches and moving further towards smart watches it just doesn’t even remotely make any economical sense to introduce something like this to their range.

Different times. Rolex wasn’t a full manufacture back then. They didn’t actually make any of their other movements themselves at the time either.
