Where unmatched prestige meets timeless sophistication; a fat 18038 with brown vignette and some Middle Eastern flair.

This ref. 18038 from 1979 comes in the classic Day-Date packaging: a beautiful 36mm 18k yellow-gold, with an early fat case, complimented with a fluted bezel on a matching gold President bracelet with concealed clasp. On most Day-Dates, the famed Oyster case and President bracelet are the star of the show, but on this watch they really have to give way to the magnificent dial.

Executed with a magnificent brown vignette effect, a rare and captivating hue that transitions from deep brown to almost black at the edges, creating a striking visual effect. On top of that, the traditional gold hour markers are replaced by a beautiful brilliant cut diamonds and baguette cut diamonds at 6 and 9 o'clock. Adding to all that goodness is the cherry on top; namely the Eastern Arabic day and date discs. Not to remain unseen, is the creamy color the lumeplots have taken on over the course of time, complimenting the dial perfectly. The watch houses Rolex’ caliber 3055 self-winding movement with a single-quickset function, allowing for the independent adjustment of the date disc. The watch is in excellent condition, with a super sharp case and exceptionally tight President bracelet.
