Precious metal Datejusts with factory stone dials are truly special pieces.

Built in very small numbers so as not to compete with its "Big Brother" Day-Date, solid gold Datejusts have been around since they were introduced in 1945, but are very scarce on the market today. We jump whenever we find a clean one - but finding one with a special factory dial such as this outstanding black Onyx stone example makes for a particularly good day!

This watch, a Reference 16018, dates to circa 1980 and features a dial that is nothing short of breathtaking in its austerity. The depths of its solid stone dial are mesmerizing, and the combination of fluted bezel and hidden-clasp Jubilee bracelet makes it a truly impressive specimen worthy of top-tier collections.

Featuring a strong case, magnified sapphire crystal, and quickset movement, this is a truly rare piece that doesn't come around all that often - we'll be lucky to land but a handful in our career. 

Run -- don't walk -- to make it yours!
