Dial
- Mother-of-Pearl Dial:
Mother-of-pearl is naturally filled with mystery and charm. Its color, intensity, and structure vary depending on the part of the shell from which it’s extracted, resulting in unique hues ranging from pink to white, black, or yellow. Rolex never artificially colors mother-of-pearl but skillfully highlights its natural beauty to preserve its original tone. Since each dial is unique, no two mother-of-pearl dials are identical.
Diamond-Set Bezel
- Bezel Craftsmanship:
Rolex's expert gem-setters, akin to skilled sculptors, meticulously carve and shape the precious metal to perfectly hold each brilliant-cut diamond. The stones are carefully aligned, ensuring each gem is securely set in gold or platinum. Besides the inherent quality of the diamonds, Rolex prioritizes precise alignment, strength, proportions, and the intricate finish of the metalwork, creating a dazzling and harmonious effect.
18 ct Yellow Gold
- Rolex Gold:
Rolex’s exclusive foundry is known for producing the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. The brand uses only the purest metals to create different types of gold—yellow, pink, or white—meticulously inspected in-house. The alloy’s composition is crafted with care and precision to meet Rolex’s rigorous standards, ensuring both beauty and durability.
