Rolex Daytona Sodalite Grossular Garnet Dial - Natural Red Stone with Golden Veining, Diamond Markers

Discover the rare beauty of sodalite grossular garnet in this extraordinary Daytona dial featuring genuine diamond hour markers. This exceptional red gemstone from Mali showcases nature's artistry at its finest—a rich vermillion to deep orange-red base interwoven with natural golden veining that creates organic patterns impossible to replicate. Each dial is genuinely unique, displaying distinctive matrix characteristics that make your timepiece a true one-of-one creation inspired by Rolex's legendary Beach Daytona collection.

Sodalite grossular garnet represents one of the rarest color combinations in the gemstone world. The rich red-orange base is created by natural manganese and iron inclusions characteristic of grossular garnet, while the striking golden veining—known as matrix—forms from host rock minerals during the stone's geological formation. This interplay between warm vermillion red and luminous golden tones creates extraordinary depth and visual interest that shifts dramatically with changing light, producing an almost three-dimensional effect. Eight genuine diamond hour markers provide refined brilliance against this natural canvas.

The Beach Daytona collection established Rolex's mastery of hard-stone dial craftsmanship, pairing exotic gemstones with precious metal cases in extremely limited production runs. These ultra-rare timepieces became some of the most coveted watches in modern horology, commanding extraordinary prices among serious collectors. While original Beach Daytonas are virtually unobtainable, this custom dial captures their spirit with authentic natural sodalite grossular garnet from Mali—one of the world's only sources for this particular gem variety.

This dial fits all 4130-powered Daytona models (116500LN, 116520, 116508, 116509, 116515LN, 116519LN, 116503, 116505), transforming both steel and precious metal references into museum-worthy pieces that celebrate the intersection of natural geology and Swiss chronograph excellence. Custom remanufactured to original Rolex specifications or money back guaranteed, with no stamp on backplate to maintain authenticity standards.

Professional installation by a qualified watchmaker is essential to ensure proper dial foot alignment, hand clearance, and preservation of chronograph function. The delicate nature of this gemstone material requires expert handling during installation—the stone must be precision-sliced to exact thickness, drilled for dial feet without cracking, and polished to a mirror finish that reveals its full depth. Each dial is hand-crafted by master lapidary artisans using genuine natural sodalite grossular garnet—never synthetic, dyed, or treated materials. This is not an original Rolex dial but a bespoke custom piece for collectors who appreciate the convergence of geological rarity and horological heritage.
