Heritage Narrative

Introduced as the 42 mm flagship of the collection, the reference blends Rolex’s sporting heritage with a contemporary precious-metal presence.
This 2024 example features a matte black dial with luminous hands and markers, framed by the signature bidirectional bezel in solid yellow gold.
