Is there any way to spruce up the iconic Rolex Day-Date? Yes, by adding a diamond-set dial of course!

The Rolex Day-Date is a true pioneer: the first automatic, waterproof, chronometer wristwatch that indicated both the date and day of the week. The 182xx series, introduced in 1988, is the fifth generation of Day-Dates. This ref. 18238 dates back to 1999 and features the updated caliber 3155 automatic movement with the convenient double quickset function to separately adjust the day and date discs.

The 36 mm case is executed in 18K yellow gold and is in razor sharp condition. The iconic President bracelet with hidden folding clasp has virtually no stretch. The green caseback sticker is still presents. The star of the show, of course, is the dial. A, more uncommon, black execution -rarer than the champagne variant- is executed with brilliant factory-set diamond markers, with alternating baguettes on the 6 and 9 o’clock positions.
