Presenting a truly exceptional and highly rare Rolex 79178, featuring the coveted factory Orange Coral dial. This isn't your typical Rolex dial—it’s a stunning anomaly in Rolex's vast catalog of designs. Far from being a stone dial or something typically seen in watch collections, the Orange Coral dial is a rare, factory-produced masterpiece that stands apart from standard offerings.

The Rolex 79178, with its gleaming 18K gold case and classic Oyster Perpetual design, already offers timeless luxury. But what truly sets this piece apart is its dial—a rich and vibrant Orange Coral dial, one of the rarest configurations ever to leave the Rolex factory. Unlike stone dials, which often use actual pieces of stones or other precious materials, this dial is an incredible anomaly within the Rolex range produced in extremely limited quantities. The factory’s choice to create this color in the 1980s was as much an artistic statement as a technical one, and over the years, it has become one of the most sought-after and elusive variants in the world of luxury watches.

The Orange Coral dial itself is nothing short of mesmerizing. Its color shifts beautifully in different lighting, moving from a soft coral to a striking orange that seems to glow from within. The deep vibrancy of the dial contrasts stunningly with the warm tones of the gold case, creating a watch that is both bold and refined. The dial’s finish is pristine, and the iconic Rolex markers and hands only serve to enhance its unique beauty.

What makes this Rolex 79178 even more special is its rarity. The Orange Coral dial was never mass-produced from 1980s-2000s and as a result, these examples are an incredibly hard find today. Many collectors and Rolex enthusiasts know this dial configuration is one of the most sought-after anomalies in the brand’s history. The scarcity of this piece only increases its allure, making it an investment in both time and rarity.

Complete with its original box & warranty papers dated 15 Aug 2001, This is not just a watch—it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Rolex history!
