It was the first watch to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full, an innovation that cemented its place at the top of the brand's catalog. Offered exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date established a visual identity that has remained almost unchanged for decades. It is the definitive gold watch, a piece whose cultural significance and association with leadership is impossible to replicate.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModern Usability In A Classic Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis 18238 from 1989 benefits from the Calibre 3155 movement, which introduced the highly practical double quick-set function. This allows both the day and date to be adjusted independently via the crown, a major technical upgrade that makes the watch far more user-friendly than its predecessors. Paired with a vibrant blue sunburst dial, the solid 18K yellow gold case and President bracelet create a classic but distinct configuration. The inclusion of its original papers and hang tag makes this a more complete and desirable example for any collector.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Well Preserved Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis Day-Date is in good, honest condition. The 18K yellow gold case and President bracelet are in very good shape, showing signs of wear consistent with a watch of its age but retaining a strong profile. The blue sunburst dial is clean, and the crystal is excellent. The double quick-set function works perfectly, providing a seamless setting experience. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Top Of The Pyramid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is not a subtle watch, nor is it meant to be. The Day-Date is for the person who wants the most iconic and recognizable solid gold watch ever made. It is a statement of success and taste that transcends trends. The combination of the classic 36mm size, the heft of the gold, and the practicality of the modern movement makes this reference the ideal choice for someone who wants the best of vintage character and contemporary reliability. It works because it is, and always has been, the top of the Rolex pyramid.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18238\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Day-Date\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold Fluted\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e President\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sunburst Stick\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 133.7g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Rolex Warranty Papers, Hang Tag\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1210\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55273963454755,"sku":"11210","price":25500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF7797.jpg?v=1782238514","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1989-rolex-day-date-18238-18k-yellow-gold-blue-sunburst-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
