Description

The Onyx Day Date - Rolex has manufactured Hard Stone dials in very limited numbers and due to the nature of the materials we would classify them as Exotic dials. The favourite among collectors and those who aspire to be is the Onyx dial. The Onyx dial is known for its simplicity, the stone does not show any veins or patterns, it is pitch black and melts beautifully with gold cases. The example offered here is a  very glamorous 18338 with Onyx dial fitted with the 6 and 9 diamond markers. The case is also not for the fainted heart, the lugs are decorated with 7 diamonds on each of the lugs which beautifully complement the dial. A very elegant and exclusive version of the Onyx Day Date, will definitively catch some attention.

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.

LEADERSHIP

Rolex watches have long been associated with those who have, over time, guided the destiny of the world. No matter their vision, their domain of excellence, or their achievements, the one thing these exceptional men and women have in common is often their watch: the Day-Date.
