Encased in 18K yellow gold and fitted with a deep, cobalt blue Lapis Lazuli dial, the present Rolex Datejust reference 16018 is the perfect embodiment of elegance. Lapis Lazuli has long been treasured by Ancient Egyptian and Roman rulers as well as Renaissance painters for its intense and vibrant hues. The ultramarine pigment was not only Cleopatra’s favorite color, but also an inspiration to the Dutch master Vermeer in painting his masterpiece ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’. With the present timepiece, Rolex exquisitely blends the majestic allure of Lapis Lazuli with a complementary yellow gold case to create a motif of timeless luxury.
