The reference 18048 made by Rolex is one of very few equipped with the more precious and unusual diamond bezel instead of the classic fluted or a smooth one. The present lot is a specimen of this reference and has been produced in 18k yellow gold with a three-body solid tonneau case extremely well preserved and fresh with clear and deep hallmarks. Another interesting peculiarity is that both bracelet and case have a principle of oxidation, showing the original design like when it left the Rolex company, meaning that this very watch has been worn really occasionally by the previous owner. Moreover, the dial is full of charm with a champagne layout, brilliant and baguette diamonds applied indexes, English calendar disc and yellow-gold baton hands. The movement is the automatic caliber 3155 and it is completed by a signed Rolex of Geneva’s sticker on the back.
