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.

Champagne-colour dial
This dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds. The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial. Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.

Diamond-set bezel
Gem-setters, like sculptors, finely carve the precious metal to hand-shape the seat in which each gemstone will be perfectly lodged. With the art and craft of a jeweller, the stone is placed and meticulously aligned with the others, then firmly secured in its gold or platinum setting. Besides the intrinsic quality of the stones, several other criteria contribute to the beauty of Rolex gem-setting: the precise alignment of the height of the gems, their orientation and position, the regularity, strength and proportions of the setting as well as the intricate finishing of the metalwork. A sparkling symphony to enhance the watch and enchant the wearer.
