Rolex Datejust 28mm Silver 279173

Silver Dial

A Refined Watchmaking Technique

The silver dial reflects the artistry and precision of Rolex, often enhanced with diamonds set in 18 ct gold for an added touch of elegance. Its surface is finished with a sunray effect that creates soft, radiant light reflections across the dial.

This effect is achieved through expert brushing techniques that form fine grooves extending outward from the center. As light moves across these lines, it produces a subtle, shifting glow that changes with the angle of the wrist.

Once the sunray pattern is complete, the dial’s silver tone is applied using advanced methods such as Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A final layer of varnish is then added, giving the dial a smooth, polished, and refined appearance.

Fluted Bezel

A Signature Detail

The fluted bezel is one of the most recognizable design features of Rolex watches. Originally, its fluted design served a practical role by allowing the bezel to be securely screwed onto the case, helping maintain the watch’s water resistance.

This structure matched the case back, which was also tightly screwed into place using specialized Rolex tools to ensure protection and durability.

Over time, the fluting evolved from a functional element into a refined aesthetic signature. Today, it stands as a symbol of distinction and elegance, often crafted in gold on models like the Lady-Datejust, highlighting its luxurious character.

Yellow Rolesor

A Blend of Two Precious Materials

Yellow Rolesor brings together the elegance of gold and the strength of stainless steel in a perfectly balanced design. Gold is admired for its warm glow and refined appeal, while steel is valued for its durability and dependable performance. Combined, they create a material that is both luxurious and robust.

This distinctive combination is a hallmark of Rolex craftsmanship. Introduced in the early 1930s and officially trademarked in 1933, Rolesor has become an integral feature of the Oyster Perpetual collection, representing a lasting symbol of quality and timeless design.

The Jubilee Bracelet

Smooth Comfort and Timeless Design

The Jubilee bracelet reflects the precision engineering and craftsmanship of Rolex. Its creation involves advanced technology in both design and production, while each bracelet and clasp undergoes strict testing to ensure lasting performance and reliability.

In addition to technical excellence, every piece is carefully inspected by eye to guarantee a flawless finish and refined appearance. The result is a bracelet that combines strength with elegance.

Designed as a supple five-piece link construction, the Jubilee bracelet offers exceptional comfort on the wrist. It was originally created for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945 and remains one of the most iconic bracelet designs in the Rolex collection.
