Day-Date 40mm Platinum & Diamonds

Platinum is remarkable for its silvery whiteness and vivid luminosity since it is rare and valuable. It is one of the world’s densest and heaviest metals, characterised by special chemical and physical qualities like outstanding corrosion resistance. Oyster Day-Date 40mm Platinum & Diamonds wrist watch by Rolex. Because of its strangely soft, elastic, and exceedingly bendable nature, polishing and machining are particularly difficult and skill-intensive processes. Rolex always uses 950 platinum, a painstakingly created in-house alloy using 950 (thousandths) platinum by the company’s expert metalworkers. The best clocks are made of the noblest metals.
