Rolex - Rolex Day Date Crown Collection Pyramid Coral Dial Ref. 18348 (with papers), 1993
Crown Collection
An absolute magical and ultra-rare Rolex Day-Date from the exclusive Rolex Crown Collection, a special and very limited selection of watches offered by Rolex just to VIP clients in the 80s and 90s. This example, the reference 18348 is a marvel that features the ultra rare Coral Pyramid dial. To our knowledge only 4 examples have surfaced the market in the past 10 years.
Its unparalleled ‘Coral Pyramid Dial’ where the dial’s surface is shaped with a pyramid surface and diamond indexes. It’s incredible how the pyramid pattern is visible at an angle while it looks like a plain dial when looking at it straight. It’s still a mystery how Rolex was able to have this dial made the way it is. Not to speak of how many dials were destroyed in the process.
The watch is in absolute mint condition with the gold having patina’d to a rosy hue. To give this watch an even more glamorous look it is fitted with a diamond center link President bracelet.
This watch is accompanied by its original certificate mentioning its unique Serti Dial, this is a rarity by itself. We have here a master piece that does not only stand out due to its rare configuration but also is in a condition that is rare. Only for true connoisseurs.
