圖錄文章
The ref. 18238 was introduced in 1988 with an upgraded cal. 3155 featuring a double quick-set function for the day and date enhancing its practicality by a mile. With aesthetics similar to its forefather, the reference was available with regular dials and various hardstone dials. The present example fitted with a “Jurassic” fossil dial with diamond-set indexes belongs to the hardstone family. Extremely delicate to work with measuring a mere 2.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it requires tremendous craftsmanship and precision to execute the feat.

Offered in excellent overall condition boasting a sharp case and a flawless dial, the present example Rolex Day-Date ref. 18238 with the rare and delicate Jurassic fossil dial from circa 1999 is complete with its original guarantee and presentation box.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
