Spend hours selecting the perfect Instagram filter for your wrist shots? You won’t need to anymore — this 1986 Rolex Day-Date reference 18038 comes with its own built-in vignette, thanks to one of the most striking dials to ever leave the Rolex factory.
Housed in the iconic 36mm 18k yellow gold Oyster case with a fluted bezel and paired with the signature President bracelet featuring a concealed Crownclasp, this piece ticks all the classic Day-Date boxes. But on this example, the dial undeniably steals the show.
Executed in a rich blue vignette, the dial fades from vibrant royal blue at the centre to deep midnight at the edges. The dial is adorned with uniform brilliant-cut diamond hour markers, offering an understated yet refined elegance.
Inside ticks Rolex’s caliber 3055 automatic movement, equipped with a single quickset function for independent adjustment of the date.
The watch is in excellent condition, with sharp case lines and an exceptionally tight President bracelet — a rare find in both execution and preservation.
Introduction
Rolex Day-DateIn 1956, Rolex introduced one the most iconic watches ever made: the Day-Date. The Day-Date was the first waterproof self-winding chronometer certified wristwatch with a day and date function. And to top it off, it was only available in gold or platinum! Rolex also designed a new three-link bracelet, known as the ‘President,’ to pair with this special watch. With exception of the most modern executions, the Day-Date comes exclusively in a 36mm case.
