Rolex Day Date ref. 18038 circa 1980 with Rolex service papers
The Day Date is quintessential Rolex. It is not only what captures the imagination of a luxury solid 18k gold Swiss watch but also the type of watch best for mobile currency: can get the owner out of a tough place.
The “President” is perhaps most synonymous with celebrities, dignitaries or someone commemorating “making it” in the world. Golfer “The Golden Bear” Jack Nicklaus and fictional HBO character Tony Soprano are also attached to the piece culturally. Here we have a gold linen dial with tritium hands and markers—exactly what a vintage Rolex from this era is made to be.
Overall, this once is in very good condition and was serviced by Rolex Service Center at one point but it was not dated, current timegrapher is healthy but your experience may vary. No damage and light signs of polish but it maintains a thick case.
