Turquoise Dial
This dial features hour markers in 18 kt gold, set with 32 diamonds, and a Roman VI and IX in 18 kt gold, set with 24 diamonds. Only found in a few places on Earth, turquoise has been prized for thousands of years for its special hue. Rolex selects turquoise for the beauty of its structure and its characteristic, rare blue color, because it marries perfectly with yellow and white gold. It is exclusively reserved for gold or platinum versions of the Day-Date 36.
Diamond-set bezel
Gem-setters, like sculptors, finely carve the precious metal to hand-shape the seat in which each gemstone will be perfectly lodged. With the art and craft of a jeweller, the stone is placed and meticulously aligned with the others, then firmly secured in its gold or platinum setting. Besides the intrinsic quality of the stones, several other criteria contribute to the beauty of Rolex gem-setting: the precise alignment of the height of the gems, their orientation and position, the regularity, strength and proportions of the setting as well as the intricate finishing of the metalwork. A sparkling symphony to enhance the watch and enchant the wearer.
18 kt white gold
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 kt gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 kt gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.
