Triangular fluted outer ring
Rolex’s triangular pit pattern is a characteristic of the brand’s watches. Initially, the triangular grooves on the Oyster outer ring served a practical purpose, helping to tighten the outer ring to the case and ensure the waterproof performance of the watch. The pit design of the bottom cover is also based on the same considerations, and is screwed to the case with specific Rolex tools. Later, the triangular pit pattern evolved into an aesthetic design element and became a signature feature of Rolex. To this day, the triangular pit pattern has become a feature of the brand's watches. The outer ring of this Datejust 36 is made of gold.
Slate gray dial
Many dial styles in the Oyster series use the sunray effect to reflect an elegant luster. This effect requires extraordinary brushing techniques to create engravings that extend outward from the center of the dial. The light is dispersed along the engraving, creating a subtle and unique effect, showing different luster as the wrist moves. After the solar ray effect process is completed, the dial is added with color through physical vapor deposition or electroplating technology, and is finally decorated with varnish.
White gold steel
Gold, bright and noble, fascinates people. Steel is extremely strong and trustworthy. The two blend harmoniously and are cleverly combined with other features. Gold steel is the iconic feature of Rolex. It has been included in Rolex watches as early as the early 1930s and was officially registered as a trademark in 1933. This is also one of the distinctive features of the Oyster series.
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.
Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.
Unique Timepieces Watches Holidings Limited is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.
