Among the most appreciated stylistic exercises, the collector will without a doubt mention the famed hard stone dials. Rolex experimented with a number of different materials for these dials: coral, malachite, marble, fossils and others. The present timepiece features on of the most beautiful and sought after stone dial ever produce by Rolex, the 'Red Jasper' dial.
