With enormous pride we present you this old Rolex 6538 version 2-liner dial that adopted a tropical brown hue overtime, whilst not losing any of its shine.
The Rolex 50's galvanic dial, born glossy black color, has the tendency to discolour overtime due to outside agents and the influence of the radioactivity -found in the markers and hands- on the lacquer.
This unique aging effect can go hand-in-hand with diminishing the gloss of the surface and subsequently results in a dull look. Luckily, this is not the case with our example.
Furthermore, this dial obtained a brown tint with differents shades more or less dark, complimenting the overall warm appearance...
Rarest Rolex dial : 6538 James Bond dial !
Can we definite as exotic or tropical effect ?
Well, that's the feeling with this Rolex dial, colors are a shades of brown, coffee and brown...
The tropical effect rarely occurs when a old Rolex dial has been preserved undamaged and worn carefully back in the days in heavy sunlight and then got stored in a dark place for years.
Something thats quite difficult to achieve and therefor super rare.
Tropicals have undamaged original luminous and the dial changed color due to the UV rays and storage and the surface is still perfectly glossy…
