To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created 18 ct Everose gold at its own foundry, patenting this exclusive pink gold alloy. Since its introduction in 2005, 18 ct Everose gold has been used to craft pink gold Rolex Oyster watches.​​

​​Meteorites are fragments from the cores of exploded asteroids or planets. These materials traverse the solar system until entering Earth’s orbit, succumbing to gravity and falling to the ground. During their cosmic journey, the core of a meteorite transforms as it slowly cools from a molten state, resulting in extraordinary metal crystallization.​​

​​Rolex designers employ the structure of these meteorites to adorn the dials of select prestigious Rolex watches, including the Cosmograph Daytona. Overcoming the challenges of cutting this extraterrestrial material, Rolex watchmakers collaborate with specialists to subject the meteorites to high temperatures and pressure. This process highlights the intricate pattern of nickel-iron crystals, forming the unique Widmanstätten structure. The meteorite is then cut to the precise thinness required for watch dials.​​

​​Used as the dial for the Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116515LN and paired with the refined black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, the meteorite dial presents a unique and captivating appearance.​​
