Rolex Day-Date 18239 18k WG Silver 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 Fitted with a stunning silver dial that has darkened slightly over the years alongside a sunburst pattern and applied hour markers, the ref. 18239 is a wonderfully executed piece of luxurious watchmaking from Rolex that speaks to the Day-Date's famed elegance. THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting the Day-Date's presidential bracelet and Rolex's iconic fluted bezel, this example's 18kt white gold construction beautifully enhances its subtle silver dial and monochromatic design.
