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 36.
White dial
Lacquer combines almost limitless freedom of color with intensity and a smooth finish. The lacquering technique consists of successively depositing six thin layers of lacquer on a brass base plate. A colorless varnish is then applied to give the color or shade all of its depth and shine. Once the varnish is dry, the surface of the dial is polished to magnify the color; the dial is then ready to be pad printed and receive its appliques.
18 ct yellow gold
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivaled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same pains taking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.
Model Availability
All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.
This is why the availability of certain Rolex models may be limited. New Rolex watches are available exclusively from official retailers, who are regularly stocked and independently manage the allocation of watches to customers.
Godechot Pauliet is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.
