Description

Rolex Day date ref. 18238. This Rolex Day-Date is in pristine, unworn condition. It was presented to a prominent Barcelona football player to commemorate the team's victory in the 1990-91 Spanish league, as evidenced by the engraving on the caseback. The dial has developed subtle signs of oxidation, enhancing the watch's character and appeal. One lug bears an engraving of the authorized retailer's name, adding to its provenance. Powered by the self-winding Caliber 3155 movement, this timepiece comes as a full set, including the original box, papers, booklets, and purchase receipt dated September 1991. This Day-Date represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors, offering a combination of mint condition, complete documentation, and a fascinating connection to sporting history. These factors contribute significantly to its value and desirability in the vintage watch market, making it a preferred acquisition for enthusiasts seeking a piece with added historical significance.

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.
