Condition:
This 18238 is in great condition 9/10 and has swirl marks as a normal sign of usage with no major dents or scratches. The watch comes with its original president bracelet with minimal stretch. The case is strong and well maintains its sharpness. Included with the watch is a full set of box and papers.
Our Thoughts:
The blue vignette dial is undoubtably the highlight of this Day-Date. Its rich blue centre gradually darkens towards the outer edge of the dial, creating a sense of depth that changes dramatically under different lighting conditions. Combined with the diamond string hour markers and warm yellow gold case, the result is a configuration that feels both luxurious and distinctly Rolex.
Few watches have come to symbolise success and achievement quite like the Day-Date. Introduced in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display both day of the week and the date in full, the model has remained Rolex’s flagship collection for generations. The combination of the presidential bracelet, yellow gold construction, and striking vignette dial makes this particular example a standout within the Day-Date collection.
