Fluted bezel
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 waterproofness, 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 distinction, in gold on this Day-Date 40.
Slate ombré dial
The version presented, in 18 ct Everose gold, introduces slate ombré dial – a completely new hue for such a dial, whose surface, coloured at the centre, progresses to a deep black around the edge. Also appearing for the first time on the ombré dial of this watch are faceted, deconstructed Roman numerals and faceted index hour markers in 18 ct pink gold. Until now, Rolex ombré dials were set with diamond hour markers and were reserved for the Day-Date 36. This dial represents the continuity of a design that Rolex introduced in the 1980s and relaunched in 2019. The manufacture of these dials with a concentric gradient involves the application of black lacquer, a delicate operation overseen by a specialist whose task it is to ensure the harmonious transition from colour to darkness.
18 ct Everose gold
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. Introduced in 2005, 18 ct Everose is used on all Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.
Disponibilité des modèles
Toutes les montres Rolex sont assemblées à la main avec un soin extrême pour répondre aux standards de qualité élevés de la marque. Un tel niveau d’exigence restreint naturellement les capacités de production de Rolex.
C’est pourquoi la disponibilité de certains modèles Rolex peut être limitée. Les nouvelles montres Rolex sont disponibles exclusivement auprès des détaillants officiels, qui sont régulièrement approvisionnés et gèrent de manière indépendante l’attribution des montres à la clientèle.
Bijouterie Italienne a l’honneur de faire partie du réseau mondial de détaillants officiels Rolex et pourra vous renseigner sur la disponibilité des différents modèles.
