The present timepiece is part of an intriguing small series that features meteorite dials. Each dial is naturally unique and is finished with an acid wash to display the remarkable crystalline formations known as the 'Widmanstätten' pattern. The watch's rarity and appeal are enhanced by the shimmering silvery texture, which blends perfectly with the yellow gold case. For those who appreciate Rolex subtleties, the current example's unique error stamp on the lower crown guard adds to its desirability.
The material used by Rolex came from the renowned Gibeon meteorite, which was found in Namibia in 1836 by Captain J. E. Alexander along the banks of the Great Fish River. The meteorite is thought to have fallen to Earth millions of years ago, and Namibian law currently strictly protects its remains.
Rolex once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation and creating some of the most exclusive and captivating timepieces in contemporary watchmaking by integrating this uncommon and historically significant extraterrestrial material into a limited number of Daytona dials.
