As expressions of Rolex’s dial-making expertise, the Rolex 2023 Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 watches are also testament to the brand’s perfect mastery of the gem-setting art.

The Rolex 2023 Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 welcomes dials made of decorative stone in shimmering tones that evoke the atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast. Green aventurine, carnelian and turquoise are paired with watches in 18 caratt Everose, yellow and white gold respectively. This union of exceptional stones, gems and precious metals emphasizes the distinction and elegance of this prestigious watch.

The crystallized effects, matrices or veins peculiar to these decorative stones make every watch face a unique work of art. The stone reveals its distinctive traits only once it has been crafted. Individual finishing of each dial is then performed to satisfy the brand’s exacting quality requirements.

Made of 18 carat Everose gold, the first variant is presented with a dial in green aventurine, a stone with a finely crystallized surface. The second is in 18 carat yellow gold and its dial is cut from carnelian, a stone typified by lines of varying shapes and sizes forming an artful orangey cameo of patterns. The third,  crafted from 18 ct white gold, features a turquoise dial textured with natural veining.

Created specially for the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date and unveiled at the launch of this prestigious watch in 1956, the three-piece link President bracelet, made only from 18 ct gold or 950 platinum, is still reserved exclusively for the Day-Date and precious metal versions of the Datejust.

The President bracelet of the new Day-Date 36 is equipped with a concealed Crownclasp, which opens by means of a Rolex crown-shaped lever, a perfect blend of aesthetics and function. It includes patented ceramic inserts inside the links to enhance its flexibility on the wrist and its longevity. A concealed attachment system ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case.
