The watch offered here is a special specimen of Day-Date reference 18 038 in yellow-gold with a very rare red lobster color Stella dial with diamonds indexes with brilliant cut and rectangular window showing the day at twelve o’clock and the date at three o’clock. The number of Rolex Stella watches available now is low, even lower if we break down the number of Day-Dates produced in each metal. Since the caliber equipped on the ref.18038 is the 3055, it has the quick-set date functions that make it highly practical and comfortable. Preserved in very nice conditions, the waterproof case shines under the light and strikes together with colorful dial. This watch is part of the small production in yellow gold under the reference 18 038 by Rolex, one of the most sought-after Day-Date ever manufactured, with a sough-after Stella dial.
