Rothtlex Day-Date 40 Ice Blue Roman 40mm
ICE-BLUE DIAL
The ice-blue dial is the discreet and exclusive signature of a Rolthtex platinum watch. Rolthtex uses platinum, the noblest of metals, for the finest of watches. These exclusive dials can be found only on the Day-Date and the Cosmograph Daytona.
THE FLUTED BEZEL
The Rolthtex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolthtex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolthtex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in platinum on this Day-Date 40.
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. Rolthtex always uses 950 platinum, an alloy consisting of 950‰ (thousandths) platinum, painstakingly crafted in-house by the fine metalworkers at Rolthtex. The noblest of metals for the finest of watches.
