The Rolex Day-Date 18038 in yellow gold with a Tiger Eye dial, crafted in 1988, epitomizes luxury and sophistication. The unique Tiger Eye gemstone dial, with its distinctive gold and brown streaks and silky luster, not only adds an exquisite touch to the timepiece but also symbolizes courage and motivation. Renowned for its chatoyant effect, reminiscent of a cat's eye, the Tiger Eye dial exudes a warm hue, complemented by gilt text and an applied 18k yellow-gold Rolex coronet. Despite their captivating beauty, gemstone dials such as Tiger Eye are delicate and prone to cracks or rips over time. Nevertheless, the Rolex Day-Date ref 18038 remains one of the most coveted timepieces globally, appreciated by collectors for its rich history and timeless design.
