Dial

• Silver Dial:
  The dial is the most recognizable feature of a Rolex watch, contributing to its identity and readability. Hour markers are crafted from gold to prevent tarnishing, and each dial is carefully designed and manufactured in-house by Rolex, largely by hand, ensuring perfection in every detail.

Fluted Bezel

• Fluted Bezel:
  The fluted bezel is a signature Rolex feature. Initially designed for function—helping to secure the bezel to the case to ensure waterproofness—it evolved into an aesthetic hallmark of the brand. Today, it remains an iconic feature, crafted in gold for this Lady-Datejust model.

White Rolesor

• Rolesor:
  Combining the elegance of gold with the strength of steel, Rolesor is a signature Rolex feature that has been a part of the Oyster collection since the early 1930s. This combination of Oystersteel and white gold offers the best of both materials, blending their distinct properties perfectly. Rolesor was trademarked by Rolex in 1933 and remains a key element in many Rolex models today.

Model Availability

• Production and Availability:
  Rolex watches are meticulously assembled by hand to ensure the highest quality standards. Due to this level of craftsmanship, Rolex’s production capacity is limited, and demand may sometimes exceed availability.
  New Rolex watches are only sold through Official Rolex Retailers, who manage the allocation and sales independently.
  Europe Watch is proud to be part of the global network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information about the availability of specific Rolex models.
