This dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds. The sunray finish creaters delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. it is obtained useing masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial.
Light is diffused consistently along each angraving, creating a characteriatic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been Completed, the dial colour is applied using physical vapour deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.
The Rolex Fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally , the fluting of the oyster bezel had a functional purpose. it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch.
It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterprofness, using specific rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine rolex signature feature. today the fluted bezel is a mark of distiction, in gold on this day-date 36.
To Preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 ct pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry. Everose gold.
