Hidden inside the coarse and rugged oyster shell, mother-of-pearl is a gift of nature that endows some skillfully crafted Rolex dials with iridescent reflections and subtle hues of colour. The inner surface of the oyster shell is lined with delicate, smooth and glistening layers of aragonite microcrystals that form mother-of-pearl. The fine discs extracted from this material, 0.4 mm thick and almost translucent, vary in intensity and structure as nature intended. As a result, every Rolex graced with a pure mother-of-pearl dial will always be a unique timepiece of natural beauty.
