Notes

Rolex produced for a short period of time a limited number of natural stone dials. Amongst these, certainly one of the most prestigious produced, is the coral stone dial. This Rolex 18038 is an extremely rare yellow gold calendar wristwatch with a president bracelet, center seconds and light coral stone dial.
