Applied via Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating and sealed with varnish, it is enhanced by diamond settings—including a large Roman VI with 11 diamonds—for sparkling contrast and legibility. The date at 3 o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens, while scratch-resistant sapphire crystal safeguards these exquisite details—highlighting Rolex’s unparalleled color and gem-setting artistry.
