    Day-Date 40

    Oyster, 40 mm, Everose gold


    The Oyster Perpetual
    Day-Date 40 in 18 kt
    Everose gold with a
    chocolate dial, fluted
    bezel and a President
    bracelet.
    F lu t e d b e z e l

    A Rolex signature
    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 gold on this Day-
    Date 40.
    C h o co l at e D i a l

    A watchmaking
    technique
    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.

    An exclusive patent
    To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches,
    Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 kt
    pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry: Everose
    gold.

    Introduced in 2005, 18 kt Everose is used on all


    Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.

    The ultimate refinement


    The design, development and production of Rolex
    bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests
    they face, involve advanced high technology.

    And, as with all the components of the watch,


    aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee
    impeccable beauty. The President bracelet, with its
    semi-circular three piece links, was created in
    1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-
    Date. It represents the ultimate in refinement and
    comfort and is always made of carefully selected
    precious metals.
