However, it was not an immediate success and took some time for the market to become accustomed to this new appearance. In addition, authorized retailers could not keep stone-dialed Day-Date and DateJust watches as inventory, but rather made them available upon request at an additional cost. Today, collectors with a preference for minimalistic design consider the DateJust with an onyx dial to be a grail watch as they are much rarer than Day-Date pieces. With no hour makers, the dial is unobstructed and allows viewers to admire its monochromatic features. Connoisseurs today appreciate the hardstone dials from Rolex, and this present piece is a stunning example that is sure to catch the attention of many.
