Day-date type 36

The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 watch in platinum features a diamond-set gradient blue dial, a diamond-set outer ring and a President strap.

Each dial is a subtle work of art. The combination of a variety of colors, lusters, textures, decorative elements and overall design style gives the watch a unique personality.

All aspects of dial design and production are completed in-house at Rolex. From the initial sketch to the final inspection, including coloring and marking, the entire process involves a series of steps and operations that incorporate Rolex-specific expertise. These include exquisite craftsmanship inherited from the watchmaking industry for many years such as enamel glazing, as well as modern advanced technologies such as magnetron cathode sputtering. Magnetron cathode sputtering refers to a sophisticated technology that deposits a thin film in a vacuum environment to color the surface of the dial. Making Rolex dials requires a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, which vividly interprets the essence of the brand's philosophy: the pursuit of excellent quality to achieve flawless, lasting and charming effects.

Gem-setting craftsmen, like sculptors, carefully craft the setting for each gemstone by hand using precious metals. Craftsmen set the gemstones with extremely precise skills. Each gemstone is precisely arranged and calibrated in its proper position, ensuring that it is firmly decorated on the gold or platinum setting.

In addition to paying attention to the quality of gemstones, Rolex also has other strict requirements for gemstone setting, including the height of the gemstones and their precise arrangement, direction and position, the regularity, solidity and proportion of the setting, and the exquisiteness of the metal setting. Surface Modification. The watch brings dazzling embellishment to the wearer's wrist.

Platinum is precious and rare, and its silvery white color and shiny luster are particularly eye-catching. Platinum is one of the densest and heaviest metals in the world and has unique chemical and physical properties, such as extreme resistance to corrosion.

Despite this, platinum is very soft, elastic and highly ductile, making the processing and polishing processes extremely difficult and can only be mastered by highly skilled personnel. Rolex always uses 950 platinum. This alloy contains 950‰ (thousandth part) of platinum and is carefully cast by Rolex's outstanding metal craftsmen. Only noble metals can match excellent watches.

Advanced technology is fully utilized in the design, development and production processes of Rolex watch straps and buckles, as well as the rigorous testing they must pass.

Like other components of the watch, the strap and buckle are also inspected by dedicated personnel to ensure that the product is beautiful and flawless. The President strap is equipped with three arched links, specially designed for the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date watch launched in 1956. Cast from carefully selected precious metals, this strap is both elegant and comfortable to wear.
