          BRIGHT BLACK DIAL
          A watchmakingtechnique
          This dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds. Thesunray finish creates delicate light reflections onmany dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. lt isobtained using masterful brushing techniquesthat create grooves running outwards from thecentre of the dial.
          Light is diffused consistently along eachengraving, creating a characteristic subtle glowthat moves depending on the position of thewrist. Once the sunray finish has beencompleted, the dial colour is applied usingPhysical Vapour Deposition or electroplating.Alight coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.

          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.
