This
year’s Oyster Perpetual Datejust Special Edition is more sensual and dazzling
than ever. A bold incarnation of a feminine classic, its 34 mm 18 ct EVEROSE
gold case, bracelet and bezel exerts an intoxicating power, and the bezel
sparkles with 12 brilliant-cut diamonds, elegantly showcased in 18 ct white
gold settings. The effect is luminous, exquisite and enchanting. The
mother-of-pearl dial is embellished with pink gold dust applied in a fine layer
via a patented PVD process that preserves the mother-of-pearl’s natural structure while imbuing
it with a metallic sheen.
The new
Datejust Special Edition stands out thanks to its sensuous
lines, feminine form and new invisible clasp. It also boasts typical Rolex precision and reliability, being as always superbly water-resistant and featuring a COSC-certified self-winding mechanical movement.
