附帶證書及說明書

Rolex is known for using avant-garde materials in making watch dials. Not limited to pave-set diamonds, mother-of-pearls and other precious stones, it is often ordered by customers on request as Rolex boutiques were not allowed to make stock for these dials. Extremely fragile, hardstone dials have a high chance of cracking during the manufacturing process and only a few can survive Rolex’s high quality control standards. The current DateJust with the magnificent sodalite dial had given the immaculate texture which complement nicely with the diamond indexes in elegance and in style.
