The Day-Date model was introduced to the market in 1956, and in the years many examples have made their appearance on the stage. The present reference 18 038 is one of the last creations made by Rolex, manufactured in 1980 in fully 18k yellow gold preserved in exceedingly good conditions.

The dial si very uncommon to find, it is a fossilized limestone dial with white and black natural mottling and details: hardstone dials are one of the hardest materials to execute, requiring extremely precise and cautious measures.
