Mint gelato on a summer afternoon in Portofino. That is the closest thing to what happens when light rolls across this dial. Rare is the Rolex that feels this playful and this serious in the same breath.
Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. Fanning out from the center in a soft mint sunray, the dial shifts from cool sage to bright spring green as the wrist turns. Crowned by 18k white gold, the fluted bezel throws sharp little sparks of light from every facet, brighter and whiter than the steel around it. Woven from five rows of polished and brushed Oystersteel, the Jubilee bracelet drapes like liquid and stays cool against the skin all day.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The screw down crown on the right side of the case unscrews and pulls out to two positions. Pull it to the first position and turn it to quick set the date wheel, then push and screw it back down. Pull it to the second position to set the hours and minutes, and the seconds hand will stop so the time can be set to the exact second. Inside sits the caliber 3235, good for roughly seventy hours of power reserve, so it will still be ticking on Monday morning after a weekend off the wrist.
Comes as a full set, double boxed with warranty card, green leather card holder, warranty booklet, instruction booklet, and hang tag.
Green dials do not come along often in steel, and mint green is the rarest note Rolex has struck in a very long time. Collectors who already own the black, the blue, and the silver will understand exactly what is missing from the tray. Slide it on once and the question answers itself.
