Burlwood isn't a specific type of wood/tree; it refers to wood from burls (knots near the trunk) of any tree. The pattern of each burlwood dial is unique. Rolex used 4 kinds of burlwood: birch, African mahogany, walnut, and madrona (a.k.a.
"madrone") Madrona may have replaced mahogany in the 1980's. While these aspects are expected of a Rolex Day-Date, its strikingly vivid 'burl wood' dial is anything but ordinary. It possesses a nice touch of rich brown tones which beautifully complements its warm yellow gold case, also distinguishing this Day.
THE DIAL Fashioned from a polished piece of burl wood, this ref. 18078's dial sports a swirling pattern thanks to a naturally occurring deformity that impacted its growth. Now it makes for a wonderfully unique and luxurious backdrop for the ref.
18078's handset and indices. The Rolex Day-Date 18038 features a stunning burl wood dial in fantastic original condition. The reference 18038 was the first reference of the fourth generation Day-Dates to be issued, and as such it had the honor of debuting an all.
