Description

The 18038 Day Date has been produced from 1978 until 1987 and comes with sapphire crystal and quickset date movement. Many special dial variants exist for this model including Stella, Diamond and Stone dials. The Onyx dial is one of the most popular stone dials on a Day Date not only because of its clean and neat appearance lacking all indexes but also the combination of black and gold works so well. The current example is in great condition and bears a mint dial free of any cracks or blemishes. We are happy to offer this watch in a beautiful full set with box, papers and booklets, just like you wish to find it.

THE DAY-DATEĀ 1956

In 1956, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date made its debut. Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. With the President bracelet, originally created specially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people.

LEADERSHIP

Rolex watches have long been associated with those who have, over time, guided the destiny of the world. No matter their vision, their domain of excellence, or their achievements, the one thing these exceptional men and women have in common is often their watch: the Day-Date.
