“Absolutely stunning! The Rolex Daytona Cosmograph exceeded my expectations. The yellow gold dial is elegant and the white accents give it a modern touch.”
Bright black dial
A watchmaking technique
There are ten baguette-cut diamonds on this dial. Numerous dials in the Oyster Perpetual range have beautiful light reflections thanks to the sunray coating. Expert brushing techniques are used to achieve it, resulting in grooves that radiate outward from the dial’s center. Every etching has light that is uniformly diffused, giving the piece a distinctive, delicate glow that changes with wrist position. Following the completion of the sunray finish, electroplating or physical vapor deposition are used to apply the dial color. The dial is finished with a thin layer of varnish.
Fluted bezel
A Rolex signature
One way to identify yourself is with a Rolex fluted bezel. The Oyster bezel’s fluting originally served a practical purpose, allowing the bezel to be screwed into the watch case and assisting in ensuring the watch’s waterproofness. Thus, it was the same as the fluting on the case back, which was likewise secured to the case with special Rolex tools in order to make it waterproof. With time, the fluting evolved into a defining visual component and authentic Rolex trademark. The platinum Day-Date 36’s fluted bezel is a symbol of distinction today.
The President bracelet
The ultimate refinement
Advanced high technology is used in the creation, development, and manufacturing of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as in the rigorous testing that goes into them. Additionally, aesthetic controls by the human eye ensure flawless beauty, just like with all the watch’s components. In 1956, the semi-circular three-piece links of the President bracelet were designed for the debut of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. It is always constructed of carefully chosen precious metals and epitomizes comfort and refinement.
