CASE PATINA

Many enthusiasts attribute the origins of patina’s popularity to the Japanese market, where, particularly with Rolex sports watches, the natural signs associated with ageing are considered highly desirable. The phenomenon has now spread globally, with the UK and US markets in particular demanding vintage pieces that haven’t been cleaned or restored in any way.

Simply put, patina is a natural oxidisation process that occurs over time on metals and other natural materials. It creates a thin layer that can render in a variety of colours – from the classic green finish on copper to deep neutral shades and even rainbow hues that we see here on this quite remarkable watch.
