The most impressive bezel set with 24 baguette cut diamonds, two for each hour segment, is the point of particular interest for this reference 18168. Only very few examples of this high-end Day-Date version were ever finished and sold, due to its substantial retail price. The lapis lazuli dial, shining in different tones of blue and displaying the typical gold coloured veneering of this noble hard stone is a perfect addition to this Day-Date reference. The lapis lazuli dials have no hour markers. They were fitted with a unique hand design, gently tapering gold hands with a dark enamel insert. The gold frames for the date and day apertures are another enhancement to this dial and were reserved for the most elaborate of all hard stone dials.
