To guarantee their precision and reliability, Rolex subjects all watches leaving its workshops to a series of particularly demanding tests. When you purchase a Rolex watch, the authorized retailer completes the Rolex warranty card and enters the date certifying the authenticity of your watch.
All Rolex models come with a five-year warranty and are certified as Superlative Chronometers, a status symbolized by a green seal. This exclusive title attests that the watch has successfully undergone a series of specific final checks carried out 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 case, protective and guardian of the treasure it contains. The case also symbolizes the act of giving. If you are giving a watch as a gift, it is important that the recipient's first contact with their Rolex sets the tone for what lies within.

24-Hour Bezel
The Explorer II is equipped with an additional 24-hour display; a dedicated hand circles the dial in 24 hours rather than the usual 12, pointing to a fixed bezel with 24 hour graduations. This function enables the wearer to distinguish the hours of the day from the hours of the night, an essential feature for those who venture into environments where darkness reigns supreme – such as in the depths of caves, or where the sun never sets – like the polar regions in summer.
White dial
The Explorer II features a date display, an additional orange 24-hour hand and a fixed bezel with 24-hour graduations, enabling day to be distinguished from night. It became the watch of choice for speleologists, volcanologists and polar explorers. Its hour markers and hands feature a highly-legible Chromalight display with long-lasting blue luminescence.
Oystersteel
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.
Model Availability
All Rolex watches are hand-assembled with meticulous care to meet the brand's exacting quality standards. Such high standards naturally limit Rolex's production capacity.
This is why the availability of certain Rolex models may be limited. New Rolex watches are available exclusively from official retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation of watches to their customers.
Godechot Pauliet is honored to be part of the worldwide network of official Rolex retailers and can inform you about the availability of different models.
