Rolex Day-Date 40

The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.

By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to&nbsp,cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to the proportion of&nbsp,silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold&nbsp,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 painstaking attention to quality. Rolex’s commitment to excellence begins at the source.
