Rolex Day Date President 18K YG ref 18038 circa 1979 Factory Lapis Dial

SOLD

(Wire/check payment 3% DISCOUNT at checkout)

  1. A fine example Rolex ref# 18038 18K YG Day Date President, circa 1979 with factory Lapis dial. Featuring an excellent condition 36mm 18k yellow gold case, with thick lugs, sapphire crystal and fluted bezel, with a stunning factory lapis lazuli dial and with faded champagne date disk and matching Spanish language day of the week disk.

Powered by calibre 3055 “single” quick set movement with day of the week and quick set date. With excellent condition 18k yellow gold hidden clasp Presidential bracelet. This beautiful watch was recently fully serviced by one of our veteran watchmakers and is being offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate timekeeping and operation.

NOTE: Lapis is a blue natural stone often with fine gold or silver flecks. Rolex used stone dials on some Day Date, and Datejust models during the 80’s and 90’s which are now highly sought after. The lapis stone dial in this model is a particularly rich and brilliant blue color. We are often asked to source original stone dial models, which are very elusive, so we are proud to be able to offer this fine example.

NOTE: Price listed is for payment by check, ACH, or bank wire. Additional processing fees apply for other accepted payment methods.
