Rolex Day-Date Black Tapestry Dial Ref 18078

The single-quick Day Dates were introduced in 1977 and made setting the watch a lot quicker and simpler than the previous Day Dates.

This example has a couple of cool touches – the bark-effect bezel that is so cool and done by hand by Rolex, plus its black dial with vertical stripes, known as a tapestry dial by collectors. We love this watch!

This Day Date retains a strong case and the bark bezel still has strong definition. These five-digit Day-Dates are really great as they retain the vintage proportions and style, but with a sapphire glass which makes them a very wearable watch day to day. The black tapestry dial is lovely, with gold text and a railroad track with small Roman hours in it. The watch will come on the pictured Bulang and Sons leather strap. The single quick set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

Collecting Day-Dates is such fun as there are so many different variations and styles. We always try and keep a good stock of them so get in touch and let us help you find your dream example!
