Rolex has always incorporated a variety of different hardstones in their dials. Not only are they beautiful and very colourful, these materials often carry strong meanings and properties. Working with hardstone is a delicate and time consuming craft and makes these Rolex dials very rare. This mid-size DateJust incorporates a lapis hardstone dial and gold President bracelet.
