Do you spend hours picking the right Instagram filters for your wrist shots? Well, you don't need to anymore. This Day-Date already incorporates a vignette effect for you!This reference 18238 from 1989 comes in the classic Day-Date packaging: a beautiful 36 mm 18k yellow-gold case 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 red vignette effect, the dial transitions from a vibrant burnt orange in the center to deep burgundy on the outer rim. On top of that, the traditional gold hour markers are replaced by brilliant cut diamond hour markers with alternating baguette cut diamond markers on the quarters.The watch houses Rolex’ caliber 3155 self-winding movement with a double-quickset function, allowing for the independent adjustment of the day and date mechanisms. The watch is in excellent condition, with a super sharp case and exceptionally tight President bracelet.

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 36 mm case.
