Champagne-colour dial.A watchmaking technique
This dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds and a sunray finish that creates refined reflections. Crafted with expert brushing techniques, the grooves radiate from the centre for a consistent, subtle glow. After the sunray finish, the dial colour is applied using PVD or electroplating, then sealed with a light varnish for its final look.
Fluted bezel. A Rolex signature
The RL fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch.
It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on this Day-Date 40.
