Since its birth in 1956, the Day-Date has reigned as Rolex's pinnacle model.

Today, we introduce the "Ref.18348A", which debuted in the late 1980s!!

This is a luxurious model featuring a 36mm 18K yellow gold case and a bezel lavishly set with diamonds.

Equipped with the Cal.3155 movement, it boasts enhanced practicality with quick-change functions for both day and date.

This model features a diamond-set bezel, giving it an even more luxurious aura among Day-Date watches.

Among them, this black dial x diamond index combination makes for a striking piece!!

The black dial powerfully tones down the yellow gold's extravagance,
and the diamonds stand out even more. It's a truly cool combination! 

And what's truly captivating is this black dial!!

It's a lavish dial with 8 round diamonds and
baguette diamonds set at the 6 and 9 o'clock positions!

The diamond indexes beautifully stand out against the deep black color,
and their shimmering appearance from different angles is simply enchanting~!!

Also note the color changes this black dial shows depending on how the light hits it!

While it appears deep black at first glance,
when light hits it, it can look grayish,
completely changing its expression depending on the angle!!

Combined with the sparkle of the diamond indexes, it looks even more beautiful in person~.

The dial condition is excellent, maintaining a beautiful state even under a loupe.

The index lume is in perfect condition with no missing parts!!
This is also a great point~.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The condition of the hand lume is also good~.

Regarding its condition, there are some scuffs and small scratches from use,
but the overall condition of the individual piece is very good,
with the case and bracelet in solid, excellent shape. 

The middle case is in good condition, retaining its original form!

Both the hairline and edge lines are in superb condition!

The buckle clasp code is "O3"

The age-matching bracelet shows almost no slack!

This bracelet condition is also wonderful~.
Currently, there is one missing link. 

The case back still has the ref seal!

Wrist shot!!
The yellow gold and diamonds truly pop against the black dial~!!
This Day-Date is a striking piece, combining both glamour and allure!

Rolex Day-Date "Ref.18348A/L5 Series/Black Dial"
