The 18079 is the bark-finish Day-Date in white gold, the scarcest finish of the 5-digit generation in the scarcer of its two golds. Bezel and bracelet centre links carry the coarse vertical texture Rolex called écorce, the case flanks stay polished, and everything behind that is the [[Reference:18039|18039]]: 36mm President case, caliber 3055, sapphire crystal, single quickset. Sotheby's put the balance plainly in a catalogue note on the 1807X group, observing that the vast majority were built in yellow gold. Bark in white gold is a small subset of a finish that never sold well to begin with, and the examples that reach the major houses are usually the ones where the texture meets a strong dial. | The 18079 is the bark-finish Day-Date in white gold, the scarcest finish of the 5-digit generation in the scarcer of its two golds.
