Dial

• Champagne-Colour Dial:
  The sunray finish on the dial creates subtle light reflections that enhance the visual appeal of many Rolex Oyster Perpetual models. Achieved through masterful brushing techniques, grooves radiate out from the center, allowing light to reflect consistently along the dial. The dial is finished with a light coat of varnish to give it its final look.

Fluted Bezel

• Fluted Design:
  The fluted bezel is a hallmark of Rolex’s design, originally serving a functional purpose in securing the bezel to the case, ensuring waterproofness. Over time, it became an iconic aesthetic feature. Today, the fluted bezel is a signature element found on many Rolex models, always in gold for the Lady-Datejust.

18 ct Yellow Gold

• Material Details:
  Rolex’s commitment to excellence is reflected in the creation of its own 18 ct yellow gold. The exclusive alloy is cast in-house at Rolex’s foundry, ensuring the highest quality. The gold is inspected and shaped with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring durability and beauty.
