Lot Essay

The Rolex Day-Date reference 18038, introduced in 1982, represents a significant evolution in Rolex's flagship model. This iteration featured the innovative quickset date function and a durable sapphire crystal, enhancing user convenience and watch longevity. Typically, Day-Date dials were offered in classic champagne or silver tones.

However, the 18038 model stands out with its distinctive burgundy red vignette dial, adorned with factory-set diamond hour markers and gold lettering, adding a touch of luxury and exclusivity. Encased in the iconic 36mm Oyster case with a fluted bezel, the watch's warm 18k yellow gold tone exudes understated elegance. This combination of features makes the reference 18038 both a visually striking and historically significant timepiece.
