Rolex Day-Date 36mm - Ref. 18238

The Day-Date:
The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 is a prestigious timepiece known for its elegance and functionality. It features a day and date display, hence the name "Day-Date," and it's crafted in solid 18k yellow gold. With its classic design and precision engineering, it's a symbol of luxury and status.

The Aventurine Dial:
The standout feature of this watch is its exceptionally rare Aventurine Stone dial.

Aventurine is a type of quartz that is typically green but can also appear in shades of blue, orange, brown, or gray. Its distinctive shimmering effect, called aventurescence, is caused by tiny mineral inclusions, such as mica or hematite, embedded within the stone. These inclusions reflect light, giving the stone a sparkling or glimmering appearance.

The use of stone dials highlights Rolex's commitment to craftsmanship and exclusivity, as each dial is unique due to the natural variations in the stones.

Rolex stone dials are highly collectible due to their rarity, unique craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal. Each stone dial is one-of-a-kind, featuring natural variations in color and texture that distinguish them from standard dials. This uniqueness, combined with Rolex’s reputation for quality, makes these watches particularly sought after by collectors.

The President Bracelet:
The 18238 comes fitted with a seamless look while ensuring security and ease of use. The bracelet is in excellent condition and has minimal stretch.

The Movement:
This automatic movement is known for its precision and reliability, featuring a chronometer certification that ensures exceptional timekeeping accuracy.

The movement offers a quickset day & date function (double-quick) and displays the day of the week in full, both prominently positioned on the dial.

This example is in immaculate condition and in full working order.

Whether for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful investment, a Day-Date with a stone dial embodies the perfect blend of artistry and horological excellence, making it a worthy addition to any collection.
