Rolex incorporated a variety of hardstones in their dials to add colour and beauty to their portfolio . The present DateJust is a rare variant because it is fitted with an eye-catching obsidian dial , which is a natural occurring volcanic glass . The dial is enhanced with gold graphics and gold frame around the date aperture , perfectly matching the great natural shine of obsidian hard stone . Obsidian presents a different appearance depending on how the stone is cut and polished , making each watch dial a unique creation . Presented in extremely well preserved condition , the present watch is an attractive example of a reference 16008 DateJust .
