Description

The 18038 Day Date has been produced from 1978 until 1988 and comes with sapphire crystal and quickset date movement. We think its one of the best value for money Rolexes on the market. 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, the combination of gold with a glossy black provides a very pure and elegant look. This watch is in excellent unpolished condition and comes with box, and booklet.

THE DAY-DATE 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.
