Rolex presidents are in great demand, in yellow gold and the much more elusive white gold. Presidential models with exotic factory stone or burlwood dials are commanding huge premiums. This is the second white gold day date we have ever owned with a burlwood dial. While we see examples in yellow gold on various Day Date models, including bark models and even Oyster Quartz models, it is extremely rare to find a white gold version.

This example is in great cosmetic and mechanical condition. The dial is a beautiful burlwood example, in perfect condition with no damage, lifting, warping, or cracking of the wood or the lacquer surface. Recently serviced and tested for water resistance. No box or papers with this one, but of course guaranteed genuine. Comes with the original white gold crown, not a stainless steel replacement. Free of any personal engraving with bracelet judged at 85+ percent.

A stunning watch and a special watch for any enthusiast. Great looking model in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. Offered with our usual 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.

NOTE: The 18039 is referred to as “single quick” meaning that only the date has a rapid setting feature, while the disk for the 7 day wheel takes a quick extra step for setting the correct day. First the day of the week is set, and then the date can be quickly advanced to the correct date.

Your purchase includes our signature fine Italian leather pouch, ideal for travel and storage, a $65.00 value.
