Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 228239-0055 in 18K white gold with diamond-set meteorite dial, triangular pitted bezel and President bracelet. The face is set with 10 square-cut diamonds. Metallic meteorites are asteroids that exploded millions of years ago in the far reaches of the solar system. This natural fragment of extraterrestrial material, composed primarily of iron and nickel, cools a few degrees Celsius every million years during its cosmic voyage, creating unique crystals inside that cannot form on Earth. Meteorites are difficult and challenging to work with, but once thinly sliced and chemically processed, they reveal the beautifully interwoven layers of their inner structure. These fascinating variations are known as Widmansttten. Rolex designs its watch faces in collaboration with authoritative specialists, choosing only meteorites with elegant shapes and reflective surfaces.
Since 1956, the Rolex Sunday Calendar has been worn by visionaries, masters and pioneers who have witnessed many glorious moments in history. The Day-Date began as a precision tool for everyday use. With its then unprecedented watchmaking expertise, it gave the wearer complete control of his or her schedule, and the Day-Date was the world’s first self-winding, water-resistant, chronometer-certified watch to display the date and the day of the week in full on its face in separate small windows. Both change simultaneously at midnight. Seventy years after its introduction, this revolutionary design still fascinates. If time can change things, so too can this minute. When midnight strikes, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date becomes a bridge between the past and the future, a symbol of the excellence of the past and the infinite possibilities of the future.
