Rolex Day-Date 18038 Baguette Ruby Diamond String Dial

A legendary timepiece with an unrivaled history, the Rolex Day-Date has earned its place as "The Ultimate Watch of Prestige" from its decades on the wrists of the world's most influential people. Released in 1956, the Day-Date quickly became synonymous with luxury, prestige, and exclusivity thanks to being the watch of choice for the world's athletes, visionaries, and world leaders alike. Only ever constructed of precious metals, the Day-Date's aesthetic is that of sheer elegance and grace. Aside from the beautiful array of dial options that have been available over the decades, the Day-Date's most iconic piece of design is its three-piece "Presidential" or "President" bracelet. Forming the bedrock of its design, the Presidential bracelet has become synonymous with Rolex's flagship collection and their desire to create the very best and most iconic watches that the world has ever seen. With its timeless design and inescapable impact on horology, the Day-Date stands as a vivid reminder of just how successful they have been in realizing that very mission. THE DIAL Featuring a beautiful and rare diamond string dial with baguette-cut rubies as its hour markers for a pop of color, this example's stunning champagne-colored dial matches its 18kt yellow gold case. THE CONSTRUCTION With its stunning diamond-set dial, signature presidential bracelet, and exuberant fluted bezel, this ref. 18038 is a stunning combination of everything that makes the Day-Date such a revered watch.
