Description

Rolex considers the Day Date their top of the line model. But never have I seen such an incredible and rare dial on any Rolex.  This stunning Rolex Day-Date ref. 18238 has an exceptional white Agate dial and the most beautiful and unique Arabic hour markers at the 6 and 9 o’clock positions.

Original 18k gold Oyster case measures 36mm in diameter. The crown screws down and the crystal is sapphire, making the watch all but impervious to water and dirt intrusion. Caseback is solid. Bezel is fluted solid 18K gold.

This uber rare dial is white Agate stone with applied gold Arabic 6 and 9 o’clock numerals with a single diamond in the center of each number. Date window at the 3 o’clock and the day of the week at 12 the o’clock position.   

Movement is a Rolex automatic caliber 3155 with 31 jewels. Movement is functioning perfectly and is a C.O.S.C. Chronometer. Both the day and date displays are settable with the crown (double quick set), in which this reference was the first Rolex to introduce that feature.


This watch is in immaculate condition with Rolex box and L serial papers (1989). A rare prize for the Rolex collector or anyone who wants a distinctive watch that you will NEVER see anyone else wearing.
