Description
Coral Day Date - Rolex hasn't left a stone unturned when it comes to the selection of materials for their dials which in some cases can be described as 'exotic'. Many collectors have re-discovered the Day Dates a while ago which are enjoying more and more attention on the collectors market. Especially those which come in rare and uncommon references or dial versions including rare hard stone dials. The number of Day Dates fitted with a Coral dial are small, very small. It goes under the category of stone dials but in real it isn't a stone. Coral is actually classified as a species of animals, making it even rarer. We have here a stunning example of a Rolex Day Date 18238 with such a uber rare Coral dial. The orange color is mesmerizing while the surface is retaining its natural unique pattern. The dial graphics are crisp and fully intact with no fading's whatsoever, has a correct 'Swiss' designation with matching hands. The case is mint and not showing major wear from age, looking stunning with its sharp and crisp lugs. The Coral dial is the grail of all stone dials being one of the rarest dials but without doubt the most sought after rare stone dial by Rolex. They rarely come up on the market in unharmed and perfect condition and and we are beyond thrilled to offer this incredible example of a beautiful Coral dial Day Date for sale.
