The Rolex Day-Date 40 has never been about complications, but rather about practicality, quality and precision, which are the main reasons for the collection’s reputation. The new Day-Date 228235, for example, has a hematite quartz dial, a dark brown gemstone with a particularly high iron content, and a reddish-coloured, irregularly grained appearance, which looks a little like the traditional Japanese repair technique of kintsugi. The hematite quartz used by Rolex comes mainly from the German region, where Eisenkiesel translates as iron pebble. As it is mainly in rust and brown tones, it has a distinctive flavour when paired with a timeless rose gold case, giving it a volcanic eruption feel, which many watch enthusiasts refer to as lava chocolate.
The gemstones used to create the dials are cut from a single block of raw material, and only those that meet Rolex’s strict aesthetic requirements in terms of colour and structure are selected to enhance the Rolex Day-Date and give it its unique and captivating personality.
