FLUTED BEZEL
A Rolex signature
The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction.Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had afunctional purpose: it served to screw the bezelonto the case helping to ensure thewaterproofness of the watch.
It was therefore identical to the fluting on thecase back, which was also screwed onto the casefor waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools.Over time, the fluting became an aestheticelement, a genuine Rolex signature feature.Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, inplatinum on this Day-Date 36.
PLATINUM
The noblest ofmetals
Rare and precious, platinum is striking for itssilvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity. lt isamong the densest and heaviest metals in theworld, distinguished by unique chemical andphysical properties such as exceptional corrosionresistance.
Paradoxically, it is also soft, elastic and highlymalleable, which makes machining and polishingespecially difficult, demanding an extremely highdegree of skill. Rolex always uses 950 platinum,an alloy consisting of 950%o(thousandths)platinum, painstakingly crafted in-house by thefine metalworkers at Rolex. The noblest of metalsfor the finest of watches.
