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.

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.
Green ombré dial
The ombré dial features a colored surface at the center, progressing to a deep black around the edge. 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 color to darkness.
18 kt yellow gold
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivaled ability to cast the highest quality 18 kt gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 kt 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 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.
