SOLD: Rolex Day-date yellow gold 118238 white roman ultra rare marble "howlite" dial. Canadian 2011
Today I have a very special piece for sale. This Rolex day-date 118238 in solid yellow gold was purchased by me from the original owner. The gentleman is a VIP who is employed by Rolex Canada LTD. The watch was given to him by Rolex in gratitude for 25 years of employment. This watch comes complete with all boxes, papers, and hang tags. The warranty card is dated 2011 and UNNAMED. It is in excellent unpolished condition and keeps excellent time.
When the gentleman was gifted this timepiece he was allowed to choose any day-date dial from history for his watch (very cool). If it was in their power Rolex would grant the request. After much deliberation he chose this stunning white Roman dial which is crafted from real marble and named a “howlite dial”. Such dials from the past are very rare and add quite a bit of value. Pictures taken on a marble background as I thought it to be fitting.
The caseback is engraved as you would expect in this situation. The engraving could be polished out if desired. It reads “ROLEX CANADA LTD. Presented to xxxxx xxxxx in appreciation for 25 years of dedicated service”.
I am considering ALL TRADES on this piece for your convenience
I post all my pieces and collection to instagram at Japenney. Follows are appreciated.

Price: $29,950. Offers and trades welcome.
Here is a link to the only example I can find for sale with this dial. They are asking a crazy price but I think it serves to demonstrate the rarity of the dial: https://www.chrono24.ca/rolex/18k-y...day-date-president-36mm-18238--id11054372.htm
This is a great opportunity to own a very unique example of the modern Rolex Day-date. The dial and story behind the watch present an opportunity for a great discussion with friends. You can be guaranteed to be the only person you know with this dial on your wrist.
Thanks for looking,
Josh
