To ensure the precision and reliability of its timepieces, Rolex submits each watch
after
assembly to a stringent series of tests. All new Rolex watches purchased from one of
the brand’s
Official Retailers come with a five-year international guarantee. When you buy a
Rolex, the
Official Retailer fills out and dates the Rolex guarantee card that certifies your
watch’s
authenticity.
The five-year guarantee which applies to all Rolex models is coupled with the green
seal, a symbol of its status as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation
attests that the watch has successfully undergone a series of specific final controls by
Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, in addition to the official
COSC certification of its movement.
Every Rolex is delivered in a beautiful green presentation box that is both protector
and keeper of the jewel that nests inside it. As the presentation box is also a symbol
of giving, it is important, if you are purchasing a gift, that the recipient’s first
contact with their Rolex sets the stage for revealing what lies within.

Fluted bezel
The Rolex 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 platinum on this Day-Date 40.

Platinum
Rare and precious, platinum is striking for its silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity. It is among the densest and heaviest metals in the world, distinguished by unique chemical and physical properties such as exceptional corrosion resistance. Paradoxically, it is also soft, elastic andéhighly malleable, which makes machining and polishing especially difficult, demanding an extremely high degree of skill. Rolex always usesé950 platinum, an alloy consisting of 950é (thousandths) platinum, painstakingly crafted in-house by the fine metalworkers at Rolex. Theénoblest of metals for the finest of watches.
