About Stone Dial Rolex Watches

During the 1970s and 1980s, Rolex produced a limited range of watches fitted with dials crafted from natural hardstones, including tiger eye, lapis lazuli, malachite, onyx, coral, and other ornamental materials. Because each stone is naturally formed, no two dials are identical, giving every example an individual appearance.

Today, original factory stone dial Rolex watches are among the brand's most sought-after vintage and neo-vintage references.
