Apart from its perennially popular sports watches, gem-set watches is another category that Rolex does exceptionally well. So well, in fact, that if you really think about it, this rainbow watch trend that’s been going around the entire industry for years now was actually started by … Rolex.
Many off-catalog pieces are gloriously gem-set with precious stones. The rainbow Daytonas of course have ascended to new levels of mythical fame, as have the famous GMT-Master II “SARU,” but these latest Rolexes continue to showcase how the Crown truly devotes itself to the pursuit of perfection even when it comes to gem-stones, where nature usually dictates most of what may be achieved.
The new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona marries precision and preciousness through a subtle interplay of monochromatic hues. White mother-of-pearl juxtaposes with black mother-of-pearl highlighted by the unique glimmer typically observed in nacre of the best quality.
Cut from the most ancient part of the mollusc’s shell which is also the part which is the thickest, the dial shimmers with a rich iridescence, offering much depth and nuance as if one were looking up at a sky full of clouds.
