Description

An absolute magical and ultra-rare Rolex Day-Date 18348 from the exclusive Rolex Crown Collection, a special and very limited selection of watches offered by Rolex just to VIP clients in the 90s. To our knowledge only 4 examples have surfaced the market in the past 10 years. The standout feature? Its unparalleled ‘Coral Pyramid Dial’ where the dial’s surface is shaped with a pyramid motifs and diamond indexes. It’s incredible how the pyramid pattern is visible at an angle while it looks like a plain dial when looking at it straight. It’s still a mystery how Rolex was able to have this dial made the way it is. The watch is in absolute mint condition with the gold having patina’d to a rosy hue. To give this watch a very glamorous look it is fitted with a bracelet with a diamond center links. This watch is accompanied by its original certificate mentioning its unique Serti Dial. While other examples remain a mystery, this stands as the sole publicly known piece. A true gem and masterpiece among collectors.

THE DAY-DATE 1956

In 1956, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date made its debut. Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. With the President bracelet, originally created specially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people.
