Well done sir. Congratulations! Beautiful watch. I saw this in the metal recently and somehow it is still under the radar and falls in the category of “if you know you know”. Doesn’t really make sense with the meteorite dial and baguette markers but it just does. We all know you are done….for now. Enjoy!

Beautiful watch, love the meteorite dial! Wish Rolex would offer it on the yellow gold and everrose gold Day Dates as well.

It was available in yellow gold on the previous generation Day Date reference 118238 in 36mm. On the current models, it is only available in white gold and platinum.

Yes, this is the most gorgeous Rolex.

Meteorite always looks best with WG or Platinum.
