Additional Informations: This Rolex Day-Date from 1998 is a remarkable example of classic elegance, paired with a dial that is rarely seen: Cacholong. This natural, opalescent stone is known for its soft, milky surface and subtle inner glow. Each Cacholong dial is entirely unique, shaped by nature rather than machinery, giving the watch a distinct depth and quiet individuality.
The design is intentionally understated. At six and nine o’clock, you’ll find applied gold numerals, each set with a brilliant diamond at its center. The restrained layout allows the natural beauty of the stone to shine through, highlighting the calm, elegant presence of the watch.
This piece is in outstanding, near-mint condition and comes as a full set, complete with its original box and papers, something truly rare for a watch of this age.
Most importantly for collectors, Rolex no longer produces dials made from natural stones and does not replace them during servicing. This makes the Kascholong dial not only a striking visual feature, but also an irreplaceable piece of Rolex heritage.
This Day-Date is more than just a timepiece. It is a quiet statement of character, craftsmanship, and timeless taste.
