Rolex Ref. 18248, stamped 18200 inside case back

Catalogue Essay The Rolex Day-Date potently mixes flair, creativity and charisma and is considered to be one of the most universally recognized and beloved watches. This elegant reference 18248 from 1990 is adorned with a very original and unusual ferrite dial. Ferrite is a ceramic alloy with a surprising reflection, not dissimilar to meteorite, giving the dial a superbly graphic appearance. The “bark” finished bezel includes rectangular hour markers that line up perfectly with the applied Roman numerals on the dial. To balance the bezel, the Rolex President bracelet features bark-finished centre links, adding to its appeal. The present example is fitted with Rolex’s calibre 3155, which features a double quickset function allowing for rapid adjustment of both the day and date. It remains well preserved after close to 30 years, making it a fine addition for any collector. Read More
