Silver Dial??

The new Air King and Lady Oyster I purchased both say silver dial on the warranty card. Is the dial made of actual silver or is it Rhodium or some other material? Thanks!

It's the color only...a slightly reflective white-ish, shimmery coating that Rolex has for many years called 'Silver'. The stick markers are stainless or white gold, depending on the bezel material, and when the case is two toned or all gold, then the stick markers are YG, 18K. But the dial is not coated or made from silver.

I thought all Rolexes had gold hands and markers, regardless of bezel material?

It's not solid silver, but I sure do love the colour and "sun ray" play in it:
