Among Rolex’s various series, the Daytona series is one that undergoes relatively frequent changes, whether it is changes in case material or dial color, changes in strap types, or decorations incorporating jewelry inlay techniques, etc. All of this makes Daytona, a super popular model of Rolex, attracting much love and attention from the market because of its continuous innovation. The diversity of Daytona dial designs has always been one of the best among Rolex sports watches. For example, the white gold Ref. 116519LN mentioned in this article has a dial made of pure natural Mother of Peral (MOP). Mother-of-pearl is taken from seabed shells. It is carefully processed and installed on the watch. It will vary depending on factors such as thickness and shell species, so each piece is unique. The mother-of-pearl dial combined with diamond scales can show a unique visual effect.
The mother-of-pearl dial is delicate and fragile, making it difficult to process. The manufacturing process usually involves 15 process steps, which takes at least 4 to 6 weeks. The output is small and the cost is high. First, the brand needs to select the highest quality shells, flatten and process them into 0.2 mm thick sheets, and then the craftsmen use lathes to cut them into perfect circles or the shape required by the design. Due to limited mechanical processing capabilities, most of the subsequent work requires craftsmen to make it purely by hand, including engraving fine lines on the mother-of-pearl dial, which requires exquisite craftsmanship. Secondly, the color of the caladium can be further improved by using a special translucent paint on the back of the caladium. Next, the surface grinding technology is also very important, which allows the mother-of-pearl to easily emit a natural luster. Finally, craftsmen embed diamonds in the hollow position of the mother-of-pearl dial to complete the dial process.
