I am the most fortunate and 幸福-est bride-to-be on this planet! My family gifted me a Rolex Meteorite Dial (10-points) as wedding dowry!
What we are referring to is a version of the legendary Rolex Datejust that happens to feature a face made out of 100% real meteorite. Gibeon Meteorite, to be exact. [Some facts:- Gibeon Meteorite fell to earth approximately 12,000 years ago, and was discovered in 1836 in a rural part of Namibia. The total fall is estimated at 26000 KG, however much of it is now protected under Namibian law and can not leave the country. Gibeon meteorites are made of an iron-nickel alloy, but contain also cobalt and phosphorous.] It has been dated to be about 4billion years old, and while it's not exactly rare, Rolex has been able to secure some of the finest, most striking pieces of it.
The cool factor of having a 4billion year old piece of space-rock on mine wrist, it really does produce an unbelievably striking look for this iconic watch!
