1999 Rolex Day-Date 18239 - 18K White Gold Silver Roman Dial
The Bridge To The Modern Day-Date
The reference 18239 represents a critical moment for the Day-Date. It is the generation that introduced the Calibre 3155, which brought with it the "double quickset" function. This allowed both the day and the date to be set independently and instantly, a massive leap in convenience that transformed the ownership experience. This model perfectly blends the classic 36mm proportions of the vintage era with the practical engineering of a modern Rolex, all executed in solid 18k white gold for a more understated presence.
A Clean Example With Provenance
This U-serial example dates to 1999, placing it at the very end of the five-digit reference production run. Originally sold at a dealer in lower Manhattan, it carries a clean and classic configuration with a silver Roman numeral dial. This combination avoids the louder statements of other Day-Date variants, focusing instead on the inherent quality of the materials. The inclusion of its original papers provides a layer of history and completeness that is increasingly important to collectors.
Excellent Case, Dial, And Crystal
This watch is in overall very good condition. The 18k white gold case is excellent, retaining its sharp lines and presence on the wrist. The silver dial and the sapphire crystal are also in excellent shape. Its white gold President bracelet is in very good condition, showing integrity and correct form. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Understated Power, Modern Convenience
This is the Day-Date for someone who wants the flagship Rolex model without the volume of yellow gold. The solid white gold case offers the same substantial feel on the wrist but presents with a discretion that allows it to fly under the radar. It is the definitive choice for an owner who appreciates the convenience of the double quickset complication, making it perfectly suited for daily wear or as part of a rotation. It is the ultimate expression of quiet confidence.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
