I can’t believe this is pure coincidence. I my view someone created/helped the process.
Look at the minute ring that is consistent without patina, how can that be created only with the sun? Also, it is so even….
Anyhow, probably everyone has his own view on such a case.

Thanks for this cool picture.
Super cool!
I have seen one with identical patina/sun damage in person and also online. The editor won't let me upload images of them at the moment though! Regards, Baruch

I think it unlikely to be made deliberately.
The piece above that I saw some years ago was inherited by the son of the original owner and had been in the family since new. Perhaps it was a process used by Rolex to coat or finish the dial that was found to be defective? Of course, all theoretical! Re...
Wow!
It must have left out in the sun in the Death Valley to get this effect! Seeing the condition of the case and strap it must have been custom aged, don't you think? Best, E.
