Rolex Day-Date, ref. 18238, with diamond-set champagne dial, dating from around 1990 (E-series), sold in January 1991. A refined and elegant interpretation of the iconic 36 mm “President,” crafted in 18k yellow gold with a fluted bezel and factory diamond champagne dial. The warm tone of the dial, combined with the brilliance of the diamond hour markers, gives this piece a timeless and sophisticated presence on the wrist. The model is fitted with sapphire crystal and features the characteristic day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock. Inside beats the Rolex caliber 3155, an in-house automatic movement introduced in the late 1980s, known for its reliability and precision. It features a double quickset mechanism, allowing independent and rapid adjustment of both day and date, as well as a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The ref. 18238 represents a key evolution in the Day-Date lineage - maintaining the classic proportions and luxurious materials of its predecessors while introducing significant mechanical advancements. This model perfectly embodies the understated opulence that defines Rolex’s flagship line. Delivered with certificate and hangtag.
