Additional InformationsThe Howlite stone, a mineral classified as a calcium borosilicate, is known for its striking white to gray color, often beautifully interspersed with fine black or brown veins. Visually, it closely resembles marble, but it would not be possible to work marble to this thinness. Creating a Howlite stone dial for the Rolex Day-Date is a complex and demanding process. The stone is delicate and requires exceptional skill and precision to cut and polish it to the exact specifications needed. The challenge lies in maintaining the integrity of the stone while ensuring it is thin and uniform enough to fit seamlessly into the watch case. Any imperfection or crack can render the dial unusable, making the production process both time-consuming and challenging. Despite these challenges, the result is a stunning masterpiece that combines the natural beauty of Howlite with the unparalleled craftsmanship of Rolex. The stone dial not only tells the time with Rolex's signature precision but also showcases a piece of natural art, making it a coveted item for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
