          Ideal accomplishments

          The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 in 18 kt Everose gold with a chocolate, diamond-set dial, fluted bezel and a President bracelet.

           

          Chocolate Dial

          A watchmaking technique

          This dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds. The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial.

          Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic 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.

           

          Fluted bezel

          A Rolex signature

          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.

           

          18 kt Everose gold

          An exclusive patent

          To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 kt pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry: Everose gold.

          Introduced in 2005, 18 kt Everose is used on all Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.

           

          The President bracelet

          The ultimate refinement

          The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology.

          And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The President bracelet, with its semi-circular three piece links, was created in 1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. It represents the ultimate in refinement and comfort and is always made of carefully selected precious metals.
