Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!
Today's featured watch is a rare solid gold Datejust with a natural stone dial.
ROLEX DATEJUST LAPIS LAZULI
Ref.16238 2BR Serial.S4 (manufactured circa 1993)
Cal.3135 8386/FF49B
Accessories: Box, warranty card (413: Korea / stamped December 2000)
SOLD OUT!!
The solid gold Datejust model "Ref.16238" has arrived!
While Day-Date models are overwhelmingly more common when it comes to solid gold dress models, this is a solid gold Datejust with a lovely Jubilee bracelet.
The individual piece introduced today is a rare one that uses the natural stone "Lapis Lazuli" for its dial!
Lapis Lazuli, known as "Ruri" in Japanese, is the world's oldest power stone, said to bring the greatest fortune!
Recently, starting with onyx, the appreciation and demand for stone dials seems to be increasing more than ever.
Among them, lapis lazuli dials are overwhelmingly scarce, making them a popular dial that many people are looking for!
As is the case with this particular piece, it cannot be replaced at Rolex Japan at present, so even as a service dial, its rarity is high and its value has been increasing year by year.
The charm of the lapis lazuli dial is, without a doubt, its deep navy blue color!
It's a beautiful and mysterious dial with a deep navy blue that seems to draw you in!
Of course, since it is a natural stone, no two dials will have the same pattern!
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, an item that truly appeals to men.
Nevertheless, this particular piece has a truly beautiful dial. Its stone grain is exceptionally beautiful, so I highly recommend seeing it in person!
The dial condition is excellent, clean with no visible cracks or anything else!
This particular piece is also highly recommended due to the excellent condition of its case and bracelet!
Observe the condition of the mid-case!
While not unpolished, it's in a charming condition that retains its original form!
The lug feet are thick and the edge lines are sharp! The hairline is also in beautiful condition!
This is a rare and excellent condition that you don't often come across!
It also has a subtle gold patina, giving it an excellent atmosphere! It's a great example that has maintained its overall beautiful condition.
The bracelet is also in good condition with almost no sagging!
Accessories include box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag, and Datejust booklet.
The included warranty card is a welcome bonus!
This is a rare piece that I highly recommend seeing in person!
Wrist Shot!!
Wow, what a truly beautiful and captivating dial!
It's a masterpiece that evokes a sense of romance!!
