It introduced the Caliber 3155 movement, which brought the highly practical double quickset function to the collection for the first time. This technical upgrade allowed the owner to adjust both the day and date independently through the crown, moving the watch firmly into the modern era of convenience while retaining its classic 36mm proportions. It represents the perfect fusion of vintage aesthetics with contemporary usability. This specific example features a silver tapestry dial, a less common and more intricate option that adds a layer of texture and visual depth.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Dial With Subtle Complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat distinguishes this Day-Date is the vertically ribbed pattern of its silver tapestry dial. This finish catches the light in a way that flat or sunburst dials cannot, creating a subtle but distinct three-dimensional effect. It elevates the watch beyond a simple gold standard, offering a more considered look. Paired with the solid 18k yellow gold case, the dial provides a point of interest that is sophisticated without being loud.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpolished And Exceptionally Preserved\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in excellent condition. The 18k yellow gold case is unpolished, with sharp, well-defined lugs that speak to careful ownership.

The 18238 is already a desirable reference for its movement, but the tapestry dial configuration makes it a more thoughtful choice. It has all the presence and history of the Rolex President, but with a dial that rewards a closer look. It works as a cornerstone piece for any serious collection, offering a perfect blend of technical maturity and refined style.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\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 1990\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\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey Leather\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Tapestry\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 71.4g with strap\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1720\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55636576731427,"sku":"11720","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF0103.jpg?v=1790111694","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1990-rolex-day-date-18238-18k-yellow-gold-silver-tapestry-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
