There is no doubt that the Rolex Day-Date Meteorite 40mm President Platinum is a good investment and If you’re interested in the luxury watch market as an investor, you’ll already be aware that Rolex models unequivocally make for sensible purchases. Most Rolex models are notable for a continuous growth in value, coupled with never-waning popularity. There’s something about these classic timepieces that just refuses to fall out of the public consciousness. For decades now, Rolex has captured the zeitgeist with each new release, while older models become more highly sought-after with each passing year.

The beauty of the Rolex Day-Date Meteorite 40mm President Platinum is that you can be both an investor and collector at the same time: this means enjoying the history and tradition of the brand while collecting instruments that are stable enough to retain value and in-demand enough to increase in value over the years.

Rolex is famous for producing luxury watches that utilize rare and valuable materials. Consequently, it comes as no surprise that Rolex took full advantage of one of the rarest materials ever found on Earth, in order to make some truly unique and spectacular dials for a few of their most famous and important lines of watches. That material is, of course, genuine Meteorite. 

Rolex, ever searching for the best and most exclusive materials, utilized pieces of the rare space rock as part of the raw materials for the construction of their watches. Rolex was the first manufacturer to utilize slices of meteorite to develop completely unique dials, pairing them with other rare metals like 18k gold or 950 platinum to develop truly unique and collectable versions of their most noteworthy watches. 

Each dial is made from a solid slice of the Gibeon meteorite, which is then attached to the surface of the dial and treated with an acid-wash finish to bring out its natural crystalline pattern. Since the unique pattern seen on meteorite dials is completely naturally occurring, the pattern will slightly vary from one dial to the next, and no two Rolex meteorite dials will ever appear exactly the same. 

The Gibeon meteorite is now protected by Namibian law, meaning that no one can further harvest it. Despite reaching an end in the supply of this remarkable resource, Rolex is still able to offer meteorite dials, as they previously procured some of most aesthetically pleasing deposits of the Gibeon meteorite (before it became protected), and have slowly been using their initial supply for the construction of their unique meteorite dials ever since. Here’s your chance to own a piece of Rolex history. 

Dating back to 1905, Rolex is without a doubt the most famous luxury watch brand in the world. Their pristine reputation for exceptional quality and flawless performance has been proven time and again and the Rolex Day-Date Meteorite 40mm President Platinum would be another testimony. Housed in the ultra-prestigious precious metal, 950 platinum, the 40mm case is equipped with a smooth bezel and screw-down crown which guarantees waterproofness of 100m. Inside this shock and magnetic field resistant construction is a self-winding automatic movement with stored energy of approximately 70-hours.

With the President bracelet, created especially for it, the extremely rare Day-Date 40 embodies the essence of Rolex prestige and excellence. The exceptional precision, reliability, legibility, and presence of this prestigious model has made it the ultimate status watch.

So much rarer and more precious than gold... only 160 tons of platinum is extracted annually, compared to 1,500 tons of gold mined. This is one reason collectors are eager to secure these solid 950 platinum Rolex Day-Date Meteorite 40mm President’s, that are no longer available and completely sold out from Rolex.
