Rolex Day-Date 118239 Diamond Lapis Lazuli Dial 18k WG
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 construction, 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 style 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 Fitted with a deep blue lapis lazuli stone dial boasting diamond-set hour markers throughout with larger baguette-cut stones at 6 and 9 o'clock that are balanced by the Day-Date's eponymous day and date apertures, this ref. 118239 is a thoughtfully executed piece of luxurious watchmaking from Rolex that any collector would be lucky to add to their collection.
THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting the Day-Date's presidential bracelet and Rolex's iconic fluted bezel, this example's 18kt white gold construction beautifully enhances the already opulent design of its diamond-set lapis lazuli stone dial.
