At BASELWORLD 2013, Rolex is honouring the art of dial making and traditional gem setting with a selection of seven Oyster Perpetual DAY-DATE models in gold graced with diamonds, mother-of-pearl and fine coloured gemstones. Each of these new DAY-DATE models has a distinctive, sophisticated, rich dial, conceived and produced in-house by Rolex dial makers. All the bezels are set with baguette-cut diamonds.

MOTHER-OF-PEARL, GOLD AND DIAMONDS
Using exclusive techniques and a subtle juxtaposition of materials, two new creations emphasize the natural beauty of mother-of-pearl. The mother-of-pearl carousel dial features an openwork design hour ring in 18 ct white gold set with 217 diamonds and delicately inlaid with pink or white mother-of-pearl, engraved with a floral motif. Inspired by the famous English fabric, the oxford dial presents a basket-weave motif engraved on either white mother-of-pearl or on an enigmatic mother-of-pearl with platinum reflections obtained via a special process developed by Rolex. These two creations with diamond-set hour markers and bezels are offered on the

DAY-DATE in 18 ct EVEROSE or white gold. FASCINATING GEMSTONE DIALS
