Rolex Lapis Dial Day-Date White Gold Ref. 18239

In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam talks about an exquisite and equally as rare white gold Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18239 with a Lapis gem-set dial. Cam talks about the story and history of the "Stone Dial" Rolex references while providing a review of this stunning example!

On an extremely limited basis, Rolex manufactured timepieces featuring exotic materials. Such as dials made from various minerals, woods, and stone including; black onyx, burl wood, lapis lazuli, birch, fossil, coral, aventurine, and ferrite, among others… These exotic variants are always strikingly vivid with a minimalist design and each exotic variant was produced in very limited numbers. With rarity varying between materials, the more rare the material was, the less Rolex produced.

In 1988 Rolex released the cal. 3155 also known as the double "quick-set" which allows the quick setting of the day and date complications by rotating clockwise/counterclockwise while in position 2 making the setting of the watch quick and easy.
