Fluted bezel

The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster
bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping
to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting
on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using
specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine
Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on
this Datejust 41.

Slate Dial

The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster
Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create
grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial. Light is diffused consistently
along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending
on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial
colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat
of varnish gives the dial its final look.

Everose Rolesor

Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability.
Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties. A true Rolex
signature, Rolesor has featured on Rolex models since the early 1930s, and was
trademarked as a name in 1933. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster
collection.
