Rocks Pre-Owned Rolex Collection Swiss Made Ladies Watch With An 18ct Yellow Gold Bracelet Strap, 26mm Case & A Dark Champaign Coloured Dial With Diamond Set Index Markers & A Date Window. This watch has many of the classic features associsated with the Rolex brand. Some of these include: The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, always in gold. The President bracelet was created in 1956 for the launch of the prestigious Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. This refined, exclusive metal bracelet with semi-circular three-piece links is still reserved today for the Day-Date and for certain versions of the Datejust for ladies in precious metals. It is always fitted with a Crownclasp, Rolex's elegant concealed clasp. Champagne Coloured Dial A Watchmakeing Technique. The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial. Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look. The Cyclops lens A magnifying lens. The Cyclops lens is one of the most distinctive Rolex features, and one of the most recognizable. Named after the one-eyed giant of Greek mythology, the Cyclops lens magnifies the watch’s emblematic date display two and a half times for easy reading. Behind the Cyclops, as with every feature of a Rolex timepiece, lies a history of invention, research and development, and the endless search for perfection. Pre-Owned Year Made: 1986
