Rolex Padellone platinum, M53506-0002

Rolex Guarantee

To ensure the precision and reliability of its timepieces, Rolex submits each watch after assembly to a stringent series of tests. All new Rolex watches purchased from one of the brand’s Official Retailers come with a five-year international guarantee. When you buy a Rolex, the Official Retailer fills out and dates the Rolex guarantee card that certifies your watch’s authenticity.

The green seal

The five-year guarantee which applies to all Rolex models is coupled with the green seal, a symbol of its status as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation attests that the watch has suc-cessfully undergone a series of specific final controls by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, in addition to the official COSC certification of its movement.

Rolex presentation box

Every Rolex is delivered in a beautiful green presentation box that is both protector and keeper of the jewel that nests inside it. As the presentation box is also a symbol of giving, it is important, if you are purchasing a gift, that the recipient’s first contact with their Rolex sets the stage for revealing what lies within.

Ice blue dial

The dial features a grained finish at its centre and fine satin finish around the edge, faceted hour markers and 3 and 9 numerals in 18 kt white gold. A discreet railway minute track surrounds the ice blue dial. In addition to the calendar indications, it is graced with a blue enamelled moonphase disc displaying the full moon and the new moon, both crafted in meteorite and the second of the two treated with a dark blue PVD coating. The face on each moon is pad printed, as are the surrounding silver stars. The ice blue dial is the discreet and exclusive signature of a Rolex platinum watch. This exclusive dial colour can be found only on the Day-Date, the Cosmograph Daytona, the Land-Dweller, the 1908 and the Padellone.

Domed and fluted bezel

Fitted with a domed and delicately fluted bezel, the Padellone features a 39 mm case with graceful lines. The upper part of the bezel is domed while the lower part is finely fluted, in a contemporary expression of traditional watchmaking and the brand’s aesthetic heritage.

Platinum

Rare and precious, platinum is striking for its silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity. It is among the densest and heaviest metals in the world, distinguished by unique chemical and physical properties such as exceptional corrosion resistance. Paradoxically, it is also soft, elastic and highly malleable, which makes machining and polishing especially difficult, demanding an extremely high degree of skill. Rolex always uses 950 platinum, an alloy consisting of 950‰ (thousandths) platinum, painstakingly crafted in-house by the fine metalworkers at Rolex. The noblest of metals for the finest of watches.
