This combination of steel and white gold is called White Rolesor by Rolex and offers the look of precious metal with the durability of steel. - Dial (Mother-of-pearl with diamonds): The most striking element is undoubtedly dial made of natural mother-of-pearl (Mother-of-Pearl). This organic material is known for its unique iridescent play of colour and variable texture - each mother-of-pearl dial is an original. It can come in a variety of shades, from white to pink to darker tones.
