The Day-Date was already the definition of precious metal luxury, and the introduction of organic dials shifted its character from pure formality to something more expressive. This birch burl wood dial brings an earthy, unique texture to the solid gold standard. It offers all the status of the classic President, but with a warmth and individuality that a standard metallic dial can't replicate.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete With Box, Papers, And Hang Tag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is a reference 18038, which houses the caliber 3055 with the highly practical single quick-set date function.
