Specialist note

The present reference 18348 is crafted in an 18k gold and diamond-set case and features a highly attractive malachite dial, showing various very fine and subtle shades of green. Most of the hard stone dials, such as the present one, are free from scales or numerals: Rolex probably realized that the material in itself achieves a mesmerizing aesthetic result, and decided to leave the dial without further decorations.
