1993 Rolex Ladies Datejust 18K YG (Ref. 69178) Fossil Stone "Jurassic Park" Dial
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved Rolex watches ever made, ever since the Datejust was launched in 1945 it has remained a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. This ladies' Datejust can be worn just as easily with formal evening attire as it can be with jeans and a tee-shirt. This piece would make an excellent start for a new vintage collector, or be a great addition to an expanding collection.
The fossil dial, otherwise known as the “Jurassic Park”, is widely regarded as one of the most limited exotic dials Rolex ever produced. This rarely seen dial variant is comprised of actual fossilized organic material and is set with diamonds for each hour marker to create one of the most unique and attractive dial compositions seen in watchmaking. Even more unique, however, is seeing this dial in a lady's model, in fact, this is the only example we've come across to date.
