Since Rolex’s inception, they have always embodied the spirit of the explorer. From hardstone mined from deep within the earth, to meteorites from outer space, Rolex imbues this undying principle into their watches by means of the materials used. The present example features a Gibeon meteorite dial, encapsulating on the wrist, a piece of the universe. By combining watchmaking mastery with a fragment of the cosmos, Rolex distills haute horology and the skies into spacetime.
