圖錄文章
The present Rolex Day-Date ref. 18038 in 18K yellow gold fitted with a black “onyx” dial, has become a popular vintage in recent times, due to its iconic case with a minimalistic dial design and the absence of indexes and minute hashes. The clean dial layout allows the hardstone to be fully admired, although onyx is an opaque hardstone with a high luster that almost has a similar appearance to lacquer. The gilt text against the glossy black onyx dial is a perfect match giving the present timepiece a distinct and balanced appeal.

Presented in attractive overall condition and offered in superb value, the present example from circa 1985 is also accompanied by its original Rolex guarantee stamped by a local Hong Kong retailer.

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.
