Description
Grossular dial - The Grossular dial is among the rarer stone dials on Rolexes and often mistaken to be the Rubellite dial which has a very similar Burgundy red color. The main difference is the crystal-like surface on the Grossular dial unlike the plain surface on the Rubellite. The dial is beautiful and has that sparkle which is reflecting on the inner glass and creates a very magical look. Fortunately this dial is housed in a very crisp 18078 case with prominent Bark finish and a great condition bracelet. The Grossular is a tough dial to find and many don't even know it exists. Well, it does and we are thrilled to offer this magnificent example for sale
