Specialist note

To celebrate their 'Diamond Jubilee' 75th anniversary, the American car manufacturer Chevrolet ordered a very special and exclusive batch of Rolex Datejust reference 16018 watches with a solid 18k gold case with Jubilee bracelet, and a factory customized champagne dial with diamond indexes and their Chevrolet emblem. Alluring and rare, these watches were only available to executives and top salesmen of the company. Furthermore, these opulent watches are also engraved with 'Diamond Jubilee Award, 1911-1986' along with the company logo on their casebacks.

Fresh to market and from the family of the original owner, the present watch is a wonderful and seldom opportunity to own a very special collaborative timepiece celebrating a special moment in time.
