Rolex Day-Date 18038 'Burl wood'

Wood is commonly known for being used in construction and sometimes for luxury and quality craftsmanship. 

Whether its furniture, luxury yachts or interior refinement in cars. Wood is to be found everywhere. It is however very uncommon on watches. Rolex has come up with quite a lot of different dial materials during its existence so in that point of view it’s not that crazy. This wood is selected specifically from the birch tree in places where it was either sick or damaged. In these places a much harder wood would form called a burl ideal for something to be used for a very long time. What else is special about this is that no birchwood dial is alike just like a much more expensive meteorite or stone dial.

This watch takes you back in time and gives “I made it in life and I want a watch to match my Rolls Royce interior” kind of vibes. Iconic, classic and a true conversation starter.
