The dials give Rolex watches their unique appearance and distinct personality while offering excellent readability. Rolex dials are handcrafted almost exclusively in the manufacture, ensuring their flawlessness. A hallmark of the watch is the hands, which are always made of gold to prevent tarnishing.

Rare and precious platinum shimmers with a silvery-white luster. It is one of the densest and hardest metals with unique physical and chemical properties, including exceptional corrosion resistance. Paradoxically, due to its softness, elasticity, and flexibility, it is extremely difficult to work with and polish, requiring a high degree of skill. Rolex uses 950 platinum, an alloy with a platinum content of 950‰ (per thousand), which is manufactured with utmost precision only in Rolex's precious metal workshops. The finest metal for the finest watches.

The watch also features a Cyclops lens. The Cyclops lens is one of the most distinctive and recognizable elements of the Rolex brand. Named after the one-eyed giant from Greek mythology, the Cyclops lens magnifies the date window with extraordinary legibility. Every component of a Rolex watch tells a story. A story of discovery, research, development, and the constant pursuit of perfection.
