To ensure the precision and reliability of its timepieces, Rolex submits each watch after assembly to a stringent series of tests. All new Rolex watches purchased from one of the brand’s Official Retail-ers come with a five-year international guarantee. When you buy a Rolex, the Official Retailer fills out and dates the Rolex guarantee card that certifies your watch’s authenticity.
The green seal
The five-year guarantee which applies to all Rolex models is coupled with the green seal, a symbol of its status as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation attests that the watch has successfully undergone a series of specific final controls by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, in addition to the official COSC certification of its movement.
Rolex presentation box
Every Rolex is delivered in a beautiful green presentation box that is both protector and keeper of the jewel that nests inside it. As the presentation box is also a symbol of giving, it is important, if you are purchasing a gift, that the recipient’s first contact with their Rolex sets the stage for revealing what lies within.

Sul quadrante nero dell’Air-King risaltano i grandi numeri di riferimento 3, 6 e 9 per le ore e la scala dei minuti in primo piano per la lettura dei tempi di navigazione. Sullo sfondo si staglia, inoltre, il nome Air-King scritto nei caratteri appositamente disegnati negli anni ’50 per questo modello.
Oystersteel
Rolex utilizza per le casse dei suoi orologi l’acciaio Oystersteel. Sviluppato appositamente dal Marchio, l’acciaio Oystersteel appartiene alla famiglia degli acciai 904L, leghe generalmente impiegate nell’alta tecnologia, nell’industria aerospaziale e in quella chimica per garantire la massima resistenza alla corrosione. Estremamente resistente, l’acciaio Oystersteel vanta una particolare lucentezza una volta lucidato e conserva tutta la sua bellezza anche nelle condizioni più estreme.
The Oyster bracelet
Progettato per essere al contempo robusto e confortevole, il bracciale Oyster è il risultato di una perfetta alchimia tra forma e funzione, estetica e tecnica. È dotato di un fermaglio Oysterlock con chiusura pieghevole, che previene qualsiasi apertura involontaria, e della maglia di prolunga rapida Easylink, altra esclusiva Rolex. Questo ingegnoso sistema permette di regolare con facilità la lunghezza del bracciale di circa 5 mm, per un maggiore comfort in ogni circostanza.
Model availability
All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.
Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.
Boglietti Gioielliere is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.
