That looks incredible! I love these factory gem references.

Do you mind sharing some more details on how the acquisition process is on these off catalog references?

Pretty much there is a dollar amount that you have to have already spent with a dealership before they can even put the request to Rolex directly to obtain such a piece. Anything below this number and they won't even bother. I feel like it has to do with the fact that Rolex needs to know you can afford it but nobody would tell me otherwise. And even having this high threshold is still not a guarantee that they can secure one from Rolex, but that is where I think a bit of luck comes into play.

I’m not sure how Rolex would know what you have previously spent? Surely this can’t be an official thing for Rolex can it?

I saw one of these but it white gold at Disney springs of all palaces, heavy hitter for sure

I think perhaps casually walking into the AD with the infinity stones might have helped :-)
