GOLD AND
PRECIOUS STONES
Available only in 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold, the Pearlmaster is
always set with diamonds or other precious stones. The gracious shape of
its 29 mm case, slightly larger than the classic 26 mm Lady-Datejust, is
noble and distinguished. Its broad bezel glitters with gems of generous
proportions, baguette- or brilliant-cut and sometimes in individual
settings.

Function of the Pearlmaster 29
WHAT A DIFFERENCE
A DATE MAKES
In the earliest Datejust models, the date would begin to change hours
before its midnight rendezvous. In 1955, the date-change mechanism was
adapted to operate instantaneously and the date aperture was enhanced
with a Cyclops lens that magnifies the date for easy reading.

Spirit of the Pearlmaster 29
HISTORY OF
THE DATEJUST
The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first wristwatch to display the
date through an aperture on the dial. Its unique magnifying Cyclops eye,
added several years later, became recognised as a Rolex standard.
Admired for its classic design, the Datejust has become an iconic symbol
of style.

Features
ROLEX GEMS
Rolex uses only the finest rubies, sapphires and emeralds to adorn its
watches, and employs exceptionally demanding selection criteria. Each
stone is meticulously examined by the in-house gemmologists for quality
and authenticity.
Since these coloured gemstones form naturally in the earth in a varied
palette of colours, they are sorted by hand, stone by stone, to ensure that
all the gems on a given watch are of the same hue. At Rolex, time and
precision are ingredients of beauty.

PEARLMASTER
BRACELET
Both sensual and sophisticated, this metal bracelet
with rounded five-piece links was created in 1992 for
the launch of the Pearlmaster model. The Pearlmaster
bracelet is always fitted with a Crownclasp.

Features
18 CT GOLD
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to
cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to the proportion of
silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold
are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They are made with only the purest
metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-ofthe-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with same
painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins
at the source.

Features
2235 MOVEMENT
Calibre 2235 is a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed
and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 2235
is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision
watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer
Testing Institute (COSC) tests. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster
watch movements, makes it singularly reliable.

Features
SUPERLATIVE
CHRONOMETER
The green seal accompanying every Rolex watch is a symbol of its status
as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation attests that it
has successfully 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. This unique testing of the
chronometric precision of the cased-up movement, as well as of the
watch’s waterproofness, self-winding and power reserve, pushes back
the boundaries of performance and makes Rolex the benchmark for
excellence in mechanical watches. The green seal is coupled with a
five‑year guarantee which applies to all Rolex models.
