To ensure their precision and reliability, Rolex subjects every watch that leaves its workshops to a series of particularly demanding tests. When you purchase a Rolex watch, the authorized retailer will complete the Rolex warranty card and enter the date on it, certifying the authenticity of your watch.
All Rolex models come with a five-year warranty and are certified as a Superlative Chronometer, a status symbolized by a green seal. This exclusive designation attests that the watch has successfully undergone a series of specific final inspections conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories and according to its own criteria, in addition to the official COSC certification of its movement.
Each Rolex watch is presented in a magnificent green box, protecting and guarding the treasure it contains. The box also symbolizes the act of giving. If you're giving a watch, it's important that the recipient's first contact with their Rolex sets the tone for what lies within.

Meteorite dial
This model is the only Cosmograph Daytona with a meteorite dial. Meteorite comes from the heart of an asteroid or possibly even a planet that has exploded, propelling material across the Solar System until chance brings it into our planet's orbit and gravity pulls it to Earth. During its journey, the center of the meteorite is gradually transformed, producing highly unusual metallic patterns, resulting from the very slow cooling of molten asteroid cores. The designers at Rolex create from these configurations a unique treasure for some of the most prestigious models, including this Cosmograph Daytona.
The tachymetric scale
A key part of the model's identity is the bezel molded with a tachymetric scale for measuring average speeds of up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour. Blending high technology with sleek aesthetics, the black bezel is reminiscent of the 1965 model that was fitted with a black Plexiglas bezel insert. The monobloc Cerachrom bezel in high-tech ceramic offers a number of advantages: it is corrosion resistant, virtually scratchproof and the color is unaffected by UV rays. This extremely durable bezel also offers an exceptionally legible tachymetric scale, thanks to the deposition of a thin layer of platinum in the numerals and graduations via a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process. The monobloc Cerachrom bezel is made in a single piece and holds the crystal firmly in place on the middle case, ensuring waterproofness.
The Oysterflex Bracelet
The 18 ct gold versions of the Cosmograph Daytona with a Cerachrom bezel are available with an Oysterflex bracelet. Developed by Rolex and patented, it uniquely combines the robustness of a metal bracelet with the comfort of an elastomer bracelet. It is made up of two flexible curved metal blades – one in each bracelet section – overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer. For optimum comfort, the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with cushions on its inner sides and an Oysterlock safety clasp to prevent accidental opening. Its length can be adjusted via the ingenious Rolex Glidelock extension system.
Model Availability
All Rolex watches are hand-assembled with the utmost care to meet the brand's high quality standards. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex's production capacity.
Therefore, the availability of certain Rolex models may be limited. New Rolex watches are available exclusively from official Rolex retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation of watches to customers.
Auberi is honored to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and will be able to provide you with information on the availability of different models.
