Rolex Day-Date 18238 “Shantung” dial
Description
18K Gold Rolex Day Date ref. 18238. This exceptional Rolex Day-Date remains in outstanding condition, showing minimal signs of wear. Acquired directly from its original owner in Spain, the watch is completely unpolished and still retains the original green caseback sticker—a detail collectors deeply appreciate. What sets this piece apart is its rare and captivating white Shantung dial. This lacquer-finished dial takes its name from Shantung silk, a textured fabric originating from China. The dial’s subtle, directional grain mimics the fabric’s irregular weave, creating a refined, linen-like appearance. It reflects light with a soft elegance, lending the watch a distinctive and sophisticated charm. Powered by the self-winding Caliber 3155 movement, the watch is accompanied by its original box, booklets, and papers dated 1995. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved example of a reference that continues to define timeless Rolex elegance.
