Does Rolex use real jewels?
1 Answer
Yes, Rolex uses real jewels. For its movements, the Swiss luxury watchmaker usually uses human-made rubies. Although they're created in a laboratory and not mined, these gemstones are real. Gemstones used as visible accents on Rolex timepieces are generally natural stones that meet high quality standards. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Rolex watches.
