Rolex
The present Rolex Day-Date ref. 18038 in 18K yellow gold fitted with a
black “onyx” dial, has become a popular vintage in recent times, due to
its iconic case with a minimalistic dial design and the absence of
indexes and minute hashes. The clean dial layout allows the hardstone to
be fully admired, although onyx is an opaque hardstone with a high
luster that almost has a similar appearance to lacquer. The gilt text
against the glossy black onyx dial is a perfect match giving the present
timepiece a distinct and balanced appeal.
