We’re very happy to deliver you a Rolex Day-Date 18048 in 18k yellow gold. The watch dates back to 1985 but still remains in pristine shape. And how about those diamonds?
The number "4" stand for a diamond set bezel, and in this execution it is neatly paired with diamond markers. The dial itself has a matte finished lemon dial and is signed "T Swiss T'. The tritium is all present and perfectly aged to a custard color, matching the handset.
As stated before, the condition of this watch is extremely sharp. Clearly displayed in the thick lugs, perfect case back and fluted bezel. There is virtually no stretch on the President bracelet present. Not only is the 18048 rarer than its simpler brother (18038) it also has the perfect balance between a distinguished timepiece and a flashy Rolex.
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.This is the very essence of luxurious time-keeping. Thanks to its popularity among a lot of prestigious people (for example, lots of presidents, hence, its nickname), it became Rolex’ flagship model. Over the years this model enjoyed associations with various ‘kinds of people’, from celebrities to Mafiosi (like Tony Soprano). They had all one thing in common: being successful in their area of expertise. To this day the Day-date is still synonymous with prestige and style. With exception of the most modern models the Day-Date comes in at 36mm. Do you earn this watch?
