904L Steel Rolex

Rolex’s use of 904L stainless steel—yeah, that’s the ultra-corrosion-resistant, high-polish kind—sets a whole new standard in durability and shine, especially compared to the industry’s usual 316L. Introduced in the late 1980s, it's now a hallmark of their commitment to excellence. At Tropical Watch, we get it—details like that matter. Whether it’s vintage or modern, the steel tells part of the story, and we’re here to help decode it.
