The Rolex Day-Date has long been an icon in vintage watch collecting. One of the aspects of the Day-Date that collectors love is the variety in dials that came on the watch. This Rolex Day-Date, ref. 18238 was fitted with a fossil dial, made by cutting a sliver of the prehistoric material. Due to the difficulty of cutting a perfect sliver without damaging the stone, it is believed that Rolex scrapped 1,000 dials for every dial that made it to final production. This is an incredible opportunity at an very rare, collectors quality Day-Date.
