Rolex has always loved experimenting and daring in its productions using the most particular materials to make absolutely unique dials. These creations are now at the center of a whirling interest from collectors and anyone looking for something rare and unusual. In some cases it is not necessary to be an expert to be able to appreciate certain details on a dial, and this is even easier when the whole dial is special: Rolex has therefore produced models of Datejust and Day-Date with special stones, such as onyx, malachite, lapis lazuli, meteorite or coral, all very appreciated and sought after. Due to their fragile nature, many of these dials break during production which increases the manufacturing cost, so these watches are highly sought after by collectors. This specimen here is one of the rarest stone ever produced by Rolex, the Red-Jasper dial. The delicate stone dial features an aperture for the date and minute hands with sweep center seconds. Made in 18 kt white gold, the overall New Old Stock conditions of the watch, displaying sharp milling on the bezel, as well as a crisp hallmark on the underside of the upper right lug, make this watch a rare find. Moreover, it also bears its South American Dagosto white-gold bracelet and full set of original box, tag, and Rolex Venezuelan certificate of valuation. This watch will always remain a one-off ever appeared. 142 Rolex Exceptional and Special Datejust Automatic Wristwatch in White Gold, Reference 1601, With Possibly Unique Red-Jasper Dial, Original Box, Tag, and Rolex Venezuela Certificate of Valuation.
