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 118338 is one of the last creations made by Rolex, manufactured in 2007 in fully 18k yellow gold with diamonds applied on the lugs and preserved in exceedingly good conditions. Classified as a luxury watch and witnessed on the wrists of many powerful and influential members of the society, the Day-Date is an icon of its own in the lineage of Rolex. 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. Sold with its original warranty, box, booklets and tag, this Day-Date is a bargain!
