Rolex Day-Date 36mm Gold 18048

Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18048 — Yellow Gold with Burgundy Stella Dial & Diamond Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date reference 18048 is a striking expression of vintage prestige and bold design, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and distinguished by a rare burgundy lacquered “Stella” dial. Highly sought after by collectors, Stella dials represent one of Rolex’s most daring and unconventional design chapters, celebrated for their vibrant colors and glossy lacquer finish.

The deep burgundy dial creates a dramatic contrast against the warm yellow gold case, while brilliant-cut diamond hour markers add refined brilliance. A factory diamond-set bezel further enhances the watch’s luxurious presence, giving it unmistakable visual impact on the wrist.

At 12 o’clock, the iconic arched day display spells out the full day of the week, a signature feature of the Day-Date line, while the magnified date window at 3 o’clock ensures effortless readability. Beneath the dial beats the Rolex Caliber 3055, an automatic movement equipped with a quickset date function, combining technical reliability with everyday practicality.

With its bold Stella dial, precious materials, and diamond accents, the Day-Date 18048 stands as a rare and charismatic vintage Rolex. It is an exceptional choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate both horological heritage and expressive design.
