The Rolex Jubilee dial, also known as anniversary dial, features a repeating "ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX" pattern engraved across its entire surface. It was first used on the Datejust, but can also be found on the Lady-Datejust, the Rolex Datjust II, the Day-Date or the Rolex President. Over the years, the logo pattern has appeared in a variety of colours, from subtle black and white to champagne and silver to bright blue and pink. Furthermore, the Jubilee dial was also produced with a variety of different hour markers. These included diamond and baton indexes or Roman and Arabic hour markers in white gold. The jubilee dial is certainly not for everyone, but it is a popular feature for those who love that little bit extra. Whether on the Datejust, the Rolex President or the Day-Date, the Jubilee dial makes every Rolex watch an eye-catcher.
