Additional Details
This Rolex 18038 is a solid 18k yellow gold example from the 1980s, showcasing the brand’s iconic Day-Date design, known affectionately as the “President.” What truly sets this timepiece apart, however, is the dial—an exceptional Burlwood pattern. This unique dial material, often seen in only the rarest Rolex models, features a rich, textured wood grain that shifts subtly with the light, creating a depth and warmth that is unlike any other dial. It’s a feature that makes this watch not just a timekeeper, but a work of art.
The discontinued Burlwood dial is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and the fact that it was not widely produced by Rolex. The contrast of the earthy wood grain against the gold of the case gives the watch a distinctive, vintage charm. Whether under sunlight or in low light, the dial’s intricate patterns become even more striking, offering a visual experience that is both elegant and unique.
This particular example is unpolished, preserving its original lines and characteristics. Over the years, the watch has developed a beautiful patina hue on both the case and bracelet, adding an authentic, vintage feel that only time can create. The natural aging of the gold gives the watch a warm, golden hue that enhances its overall aesthetic and reflects the rich history behind this remarkable piece. The bracelet shows minimal stretch with subtle wear, further contributing to its charm and making this a true “time-capsule” watch.
The Rolex Day-Date 18038, powered by the legendary automatic single quick set Caliber 3055, offers easy date change functions, making it not only an exquisite piece but also highly functional as a daily timepiece.
With its original bracelet and a beautifully preserved case, this watch stands as a testament to the enduring quality of Rolex craftsmanship. This is a rare opportunity to own a Rolex that blends the heritage of the brand with an eye-catching, one-of-a-kind dial and an untouched, vintage character. Don’t miss out on adding this piece of history to your collection!
