| Onyx - 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. If we had to name one Day Date configuration that exceeds all other collectible Day Dates in demand, if would be the Onyx Day Date. The Onyx dial is known for its simplicity, its unique stealth look and its minimalist appearance like no other dial. The power of black and gold is second to none and though there are no gems fitted on the dial or case, this is a very glamorous watch. We are happy to have one of these in stock again, having hunted them down more often in the past, we can tell you that there are numerous counterfeit Onyx dials on the market and to buy with confidence. Here is a late 18238 Day Date in overall crisp and sharp condition with a flawless Onyx dial - if you have been looking for one, this is your chance. |

Brief History
Rolex Day-Date
Arguably one of the most iconic watches ever made, the Day-Date aka the Rolex President was introduced in 1956 and was the first to feature both the day and date in dedicated windows on the dial.
The Day-Date is the top model in the Rolex line-up and comes in an array of configurations with rare and special dials and case decorations. It has only ever been made in precious metals with Automatic movements and historically with an elegant diameter of 36mm - the perfect size for an iconic dress watch.
