ROLEX
The Swiss manufacturer surprised many with three of its five new releases at the fair. These included an update of one of Rolex’s most underrated models, the Air-King; a left-handed GMT-Master II; and three iterations of the Datejust 31 adorned with charming floral dials. We take a closer look at the novelties here.
Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31
With enduring aesthetics that make it so distinctive, the Datejust is the archetype of a classic timepiece that transcends time. Introduced in 1945, it was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock, while encompassing all the major innovations that Rolex had contributed to the modern wristwatch until then.
Following last year's launch of the Datejust 36 with an unexpected green palm-motif dial, this new trio of Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31 models feature a striking floral motif that springs to life with a splash of colour and shimmer. Reminiscent of wild summer meadows, the feminine design of 24 blooms exudes a burst with energy and a sense of renewal. Every flower stands out distinctly, courtesy of their individual finishes in sunray, matte or grained. The delightful blooms also appear to be lit from within, as each one boasts a dazzling diamond at its heart.
The eye-catching dials are offered in three colour options. The first showcases the floral-motif dial-in Azzurro blue on white Rolesor, which combines Oystersteel and white gold, and is fitted with a fluted bezel and Oyster bracelet. Crafted in yellow gold, the second model boasts an olive-green dial, while the third reference is adorned with a silver dial on Everose Rolesor that is a combination of Oystersteel and Everose gold.
