Rolex Day-Date White Gold Day-Date 36 Watch - Fluted Bezel - Meteorite Diamond Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 118239 mtado 36mm Fluted Bezel Meteorite Diamond Dial Timepiece [118239

Meteorite dials are among the most genuinely extraordinary materials Rolex uses — each one is sliced from actual Gibeon meteorite, an iron-nickel mass that struck Earth in Namibia approximately 4 billion years after forming in the asteroid belt, and no two dials are identical due to the natural Widmanstätten crystalline patterns that emerge during the cutting and polishing process. On the Day-Date 36 ref. 118239 in 18ct white gold, the cosmic grey-silver of the meteorite surface has an almost liquid depth that no synthetic material can replicate, and the addition of diamond hour markers creates a tension between the organic extraterrestrial material and precise human gem-setting. White gold is the natural choice for a meteorite dial — the cool silvery tones of the case and bezel echoing the meteorite's own palette without competing with it. Meteorite dial Day-Dates are genuine collector references that command significant premiums and rarely remain in dealer stock.
