Rolex is well known to experiment on bold use of dial materials, from mother-of-pearl to hard stones, the present example is an uncommon specimen which features a white howlite dial. Further retained in excellent overall condition, the watch is complete with its box and certificate. It is extremely rare to find hardstone dials fitted to the Datejust.
