Rolex > Oyster Perpetual Day-Date > 18238
Specs
A very attractive and fine yellow gold calendar wristwatch with sweep center seconds.
Incredibly rare, this reference 18238 most notably displays a hard stone
ammonite dial with diamond-set Arabic markers. One of the most unusual
dial materials ever to be featured on a watch, this dial in made up of
fossilized ammonites (a prehistorical mollusc). Consequently, no two
dials are exactly the same in nature, giving each watch a distinctive
and unique appearance.
Rolex in particular excels in using hard
stone and unusual materials. The manufacture has elevated its dress
watches with materials such as rubellite, blood stone, coral, and a
number of different fossil-bering stones, providing an unusual design
twist to classic models.
To the best of our knowledge, the consignor of the present watch upgraded his timepiece with the present dial during a service.
