The 18078 is the bark-finish Day-Date of the sapphire-crystal era, the 5-digit successor to the 4-digit bark [[Reference:1807|1807]]. It is a yellow-gold President whose bezel and bracelet centre links carry the coarse vertical "bark" texture, écorce in French, while the case flanks stay polished. Caliber 3055, sapphire crystal, made from the late 1970s to 1988. The bark drew few buyers when new and Rolex built it in small numbers, which makes it the scarcer of the 5-digit finishes today. The examples that command attention pair the bark case with an exotic dial: wood, hardstone, lacquered Stella, or an Omani Khanjar. | The 18078 is the bark-finish Day-Date of the sapphire-crystal era, the 5-digit successor to the 4-digit bark [[Reference:1807|1807]].
