Rolex, Day-Date, 1989, 18388, Yellow gold and Diamonds

EUR 76,000 (excl. VAT)

Patented in 1955 and distributed a year later, the Day-Date presented itself as a beautiful and elegant watch. This model was also used for the staging of real special dials, with the most varied hard stones. Anyway, this this wasn’t enough since in the most modern models like the present reference 18388 the Rolex masters used some dials to create mosaics composed of precious stones. The example offered here is one of the very few examples known with this special dial made up of a set of round-cut diamonds and small holes in the gold dial. Moreover, this example is even more special and rare since it offers a diamond set bezel, lugs and a jubilee bracelet with inner links with diamonds as well. The three-body case with brushed, screwed — down back and crown, sapphire crystal with cyclops lens is in great conditions and quality.
