Rolex Day Date 18238 - 1994
Rolex Day Date 18238
The 18238 is the last model of Day Date to feature brushed lugs, while also featuring a double quickset function for adjusting the day and the date, which endows it with practicality, ease of use and vintage charm all at the same time. For this reason it, along with the 1803, is our favourite iteration of the Day Date.
This particular example dates from 1994 and presents in excellent vintage condition. Serviced by the Rolex Service Centre in Melbourne in 2020, the case is in superb shape. Has been polished, but retains thick, sharp lugs, with a uniform finish that RSC servicing provides. Shows some light scratches, and a few small dings and nicks. Please see images for full condition details.
Tritium champagne baton dial shows 'tropical' patina developing. All lume plots in place. Hands are tritium.
Comes on the original president bracelet. Shows light stretch for it's age, and will fit up to a 7.5in wrist.
Comes with period correct inner box, booklets, leather document holder, Rolex cleaning cloth, letter from Rolex confirming service in 2020, and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
