Rolex Datejust: 36 mm, Oystersteel and yellow gold, champagne colour, diamond-set dial, Jubilee bracelet, m126203-0017

The diamonds on this dial are set in gold imitation. Numerous dials in the Oyster Perpetual range have beautiful light reflections thanks to the sunray coating. Expert brushing techniques are used to achieve it, resulting in grooves that radiate outward from the dial’s center. Every etching has light that is uniformly diffused, giving the piece a distinctive, delicate glow that changes with wrist position. Following the completion of the sunray finish, electroplating or physical vapor deposition are used to apply the dial color. The dial is finished with a thin layer of varnish.
