This beautiful yellowgold Day-Date has a unique and eye-catching grossular dial with diamond hour markers. The textured design of the rubellite dial adds a very special touch to this wristwatch.
Hardstone dials are very popular and valuable for Day-Date watches. Rolex has used various stones, such as onyx, malachite, rubellite, coral, and sodalite, to make these dials even more diverse and interesting. Rolex has consistently been a pioneer in the exploration of materials and technologies, always pushing the boundaries and never resting on its laurels. Collaborating closely with the renowned dial maker Stern Frères (later known as Stern Creation), Rolex embarked on a journey of experimentation with natural stones in the 1970s to craft captivating and one-of-a-kind dials. This fruitful partnership led to the creation of some of the most captivating timepieces of the 20th century.
