Artisanal Craftsmanship

Rolex’s tryst with history has always been about exploration and adventure whether geographical, technical or aesthetic. The new watches for 2021 naturally follow in the path chosen by provenance. This is especially true of watches in the Explorer range that have mastered extreme frontiers from precipitous mountains to the depths of caves and even the biting cold of the Arctic and the searing heat of volcanoes. This year, one ofthe range’s essential requirements is also elegance. The Oyster Perpetual Explorer is available in a yellow Rolesor version that combines oyster steel and 18 carat gold, in a flawless blend ofcraft and craftsmanship. The new dials on the Oyster Perpetual Date just 36 feature a palm motif, inspired by tropical forests, or a fluted motif that incorporates one of the brand’s signature aesthetic styles. Olive green, silver or golden, they are made from age-old materials such as copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, titanium and silicon, combined with cutting-edge technology to offer vibrant metallic colours. The new versions of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona are available in 18 carat yellow, white or Everose gold. Their meteorite dials bear testimony to energy that has journeyed through time and space. Each fragment has a unique internal structure, which makes every Cosmograph Daytona with a meteorite dial one of a kind. If exclusive dials aren’t enough, the new versions of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 feature hour markers and alligator leather straps in matching colours to up your style quotient. They are coral-coloured on the 18 carat yellow gold model, turquoise on the 18 carat white gold version and burgundy on the watch in 18 carat Everose gold. Reimagined in swathes of diamonds, the new Oyster Perpetual Lady-Date just, set with 1,089 diamonds on the middle case, bezel, dial and President bracelet, is the ultimate sparkly for a slender wrist.
