Rolex Yellow Gold Day-Date Special Edition 39 Watch - 40 Diamond Bezel - Meteorite Diamond Dial - 18948 mtd

Among Rolex's most coveted complications, the Day-Date collection reaches its zenith with meteorite dials that transform each 39mm yellow gold case into a singular cosmic statement. The reference 18948 mtd represents the pinnacle of this horological artistry, where extraterrestrial Gibeon meteorite—formed over four billion years ago—creates crystalline Widmanstätten patterns that remain completely unique to each timepiece. This unworn example elevates the already exclusive Day-Date formula with a 40-diamond bezel that frames the otherworldly dial surface, making it among the most recognizable and collectible iterations within serious horological circles.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Meteorite Dial with Diamond Markers — Genuine Gibeon meteorite slice reveals natural Widmanstätten patterns formed through millions of years of cooling in space, creating a dial surface that cannot be replicated or reproduced
  • 40-Diamond Bezel — Precision-set brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 2.5 carats encircle the case, each stone carefully selected for optimal fire and brilliance
  • 39mm Yellow Gold Case — Classic Day-Date proportions in 18-karat yellow gold with Rolex's signature fluted caseback and screw-down crown system
  • Day-Date Complication — Instantaneous day and date displays at 12 and 3 o'clock respectively, powered by Rolex's perpetual, self-winding movement
  • Reference 18948 mtd Provenance — Factory-issued meteorite dial variant represents one of Rolex's most exclusive special editions, produced in extremely limited quantities
  • Unworn Condition — Complete with original factory finishing, protective stickers, and pristine case surfaces showing no signs of wear or polishing

“I recently purchased my dream car from Brett. If you're looking at a car in his inventory, rest assured you're getting a quality vehicle. His transparency throughout the process is top tier.”

“I purchased my first Porsche 911 from Brett. It was my first time purchasing a car without being able to see it in person and Brett made this process easy. He made sure I knew the exact condition of the car prior to finalizing the purchase.”
