Slate Ombre Dial – A Unique Expression of Luxury
The dial of this Day-Date is where artistry meets horology. The ombre effect, a rare and sought-after Rolex Watch design, gives the watch a dynamic, ever-changing character depending on the light. The deep slate gray on the outer edges fades into a lustrous silver center, creating a stunning gradient that enhances legibility and depth.
Accentuating the dial are applied Roman numerals in 18k rose gold, which exude timeless sophistication. The day window at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock, enhanced by Rolex’s Cyclops lens, offer unparalleled readability—hallmarks of the legendary Day-Date collection.
Everose Gold – A Gold That Lasts Forever
Rolex’s 18k Everose gold is not just any rose gold—it is a proprietary alloy developed in Rolex’s own foundry to maintain its warm, rich hue over time. Unlike traditional rose gold, which can fade, Everose retains its deep pink tone thanks to a unique blend of gold, copper, and platinum.
The 40mm Oyster case, entirely crafted from Everose gold, offers a perfect balance of presence and wearability. The polished finish reflects light beautifully, while the Twinlock screw-down crown ensures 100 meters of water resistance, making this a watch built for both luxury and durability.
Fluted Bezel – A Rolex Signature
Encircling this exquisite dial is Rolex’s iconic fluted bezel, a symbol of prestige and craftsmanship. Originally designed for functional purposes—helping to screw the bezel onto the case—it has evolved into a signature aesthetic element, instantly recognizable and eternally elegant.
The President Bracelet – A Mark of Leadership
No Rolex symbolizes power and influence more than the Day-Date with its exclusive President bracelet. Featuring a semi-circular three-link construction, this bracelet offers both a distinctive look and unparalleled comfort. The concealed Crownclasp ensures a seamless, elegant closure, making it feel as luxurious as it looks.
