This is Rolex Day Date coral.
No matter you like it or not, I was able to persuade Rolex Swiss to assemble one last Coral dial on to a 118238 and we bought it three years ago at AD and sold it to a HK collector at HK$2XXXXX !
That watch is probably worth with almost $700,000 or more now!
Now Antiquorum is carrying a 1996 ref 18208 with coral dial.
The most collectible colour is Coral, Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, onyx... I still Remember someone looked at me saying too expensive as I sold one 18038 Coral with Rolex paper with certain price, half of this price 2 years ago.
Sometimes it is not hunch but knowledge that could predict what is the value of some watches in future!
The rule is how rare it was and how “ ugly” it was! After certain year peoples ’ taste would change and it becomes how beautiful it is! 😂
