HOLD!!
The Rolex Day-Date is the pinnacle of Rolex's model, available only in gold or platinum.
Compared to the previous model/Ref.1803,
The windshield has been changed from plastic to sapphire crystal,
This is the "Ref. 18038" which is equipped with a quick date change function.
This time we are introducing a dial called bloodstone, which is extremely rare.
Day-Date stone dials are becoming increasingly rare,
Bloodstone is an extremely rare dial that can only be found at overseas auctions.
There are also 10P diamond and Roman numeral indexes,
The most popular model is undoubtedly the one without indexes that we are introducing today!
Jasper is a type of stone, and the red, tiny crystals that can be seen on the forest green dial create spots and patterns that resemble blood.
It was named Bloodstone.
But still, this is a very beautiful dial.
The green fades when exposed to light, creating a beautiful color.
If you look closely with a magnifying glass, you can see red crystals scattered among the green.
*The glass has a crown watermark.
Important point! The dial condition is very good.
It is in good condition with no noticeable scratches!
The gold lettering is also beautiful.
The hands are luminous with tritium and are in good condition.
The condition is good, but there are scratches from use.
This is a good specimen that has been kept in excellent condition!!
As you can see, the middle case is in good condition with no excessive finishing!
The rug legs have sharp edge lines that make them look great!
The bracelet is in good condition with only slight wear and tear!
Wow, that's a beautiful dial.
Finally, a wrist shot!!
Enjoy this special Day-Date that exudes an air of something extraordinary!
