Black against rose
Rose plating next to a black dial gives a strong contrast; the markers and hands are the same pink as the case, so they glow against the black. Photo 07 is the clearest view of the dial. If you want the same case with a lighter face, the silver-dial 118135 is its direct sibling.

Details from the gallery
Photos 02 and 04 show the fluted bezel edge-on, photo 03 the plain caseback, and photo 06 the folding clasp with a crown. The blue film on the date window in some shots is transport protection. A green-dial leather model in yellow tone is the 118138 with a green dial on green leather, and what to expect of the Day-Date gold plating covers care of the rose finish.
What the movement choice changes
Only the movement: the Japanese Miyota-based automatic beats at 21,600 vph and runs near 40 hours, while the Swiss version, built to follow the original caliber, beats at 28,800 vph and runs near 70. Both have a 904L steel case, sapphire crystal and 30 m (rain and splashes only). More options: the other Day-Date references.
What is the blue sticker on the date?
It is a protective film seen on some gallery photos. The date window itself is clear glass with a magnifier.
