Rolex has always pioneered new materials in watchmaking. Meteorite dials, made from the Gibeon meteorite that fell in Namibia, are a particular favorite among collectors for their rarity and natural beauty. As the first to use meteorite in a wristwatch, Rolex masterfully incorporates the space-born material into the dials of certain Day-Date, GMT-Master, and Daytona models. Each thin slice of meteorite is uniquely patterned, so no two dials will ever be identical. The meteorite's surface is gently acid-washed to accentuate its mesmerizing texture. This circa 2004 Daytona ref. 116519 featuring a meteorite dial is offered with its original guarantee. With meteorite supply now extremely limited, demand for these singular timepieces has steadily risen. For the discerning collector, this is a perfect opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most desirable and fascinating watches.
