To ensure their precision and reliability, Rolex subjects every watch that leaves its workshops to a series of particularly demanding tests. When you purchase a Rolex watch, the authorized retailer will complete the Rolex warranty card and enter the date on it, certifying the authenticity of your watch.
All Rolex models come with a five-year warranty and are certified as a Superlative Chronometer, a status symbolized by a green seal. This exclusive designation attests that the watch has successfully undergone a series of specific final inspections conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories and according to its own criteria, in addition to the official COSC certification of its movement.
Each Rolex watch is presented in a magnificent green box, protecting and guarding the treasure it contains. The box also symbolizes the act of giving. If you're giving a watch, it's important that the recipient's first contact with their Rolex sets the tone for what lies within.

Intense white dial
Each dial is a miniature work of art. The color, reflections and surface texture, along with decorative elements and the overall design give the watch its intrinsic character. Rolex masters all aspects of its dial creation and production in-house. From the initial sketches to the final inspection, including coloring or the application of appliques, the process involves a series of steps and operations that call on specific expertise. Some of these professions – enameling, for instance – date from the early days of watchmaking. Others are inherent to the use of cutting-edge technologies, such as magnetron sputtering, a complex technique for coloring the surface of a dial by depositing a thin film of material in a vacuum environment. A meeting of traditional skills and technology, the manufacture of Rolex dials perfectly encapsulates the philosophy that guides the brand: seeking the highest level of quality to achieve an impeccable, long-lasting result.
Domed and fluted bezel
This elegant and understated watch features a slim case crowned with a bezel that is part domed and part finely fluted – the lower part being given an elegant fluting and the upper part domed.
18 kt yellow gold
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivaled ability to cast the highest quality 18 kt gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 kt gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same pains taking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.

Model Availability
All Rolex watches are hand-assembled with the utmost care to meet the brand's high quality standards. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex's production capacity.
Therefore, the availability of certain Rolex models may be limited. New Rolex watches are available exclusively from official Rolex retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation of watches to customers.
Godechot Pauliet is honored to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of different models.
