The Rolex Day-Date is one of the most prestigious watches ever created. Introduced in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week spelt out in full and the date, it has become an enduring symbol of achievement and exceptional Swiss craftsmanship. Crafted exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date remains the flagship of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection.
This Rolex Day-Date 36 reference 118239, dating from 2004, is crafted entirely from 18ct white gold and is presented in mint condition as a complete full set. The elegant grey sunray dial with applied Roman numeral hour markers is beautifully complemented by the iconic fluted bezel, creating a sophisticated and understated aesthetic. Completing the watch is the sought-after President bracelet, fitted with the desirable solid concealed Crownclasp, giving the bracelet its seamless appearance while adding both comfort and refinement.
Powering the watch is the Rolex Manufacture Calibre 3155 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability and precision. Offering approximately 48 hours of power reserve, it features instantaneous day and date displays, protected beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with the signature Cyclops lens. The robust Oyster case and Twinlock screw-down crown provide water resistance to 100 metres, making this precious metal timepiece as practical as it is luxurious.
Presented with its original Rolex inner and outer boxes, warranty papers, manuals, booklets, wallet and accessories, this 2004 Rolex Day-Date 118239 represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the most elegant and desirable modern Day-Date references. Combining the prestige of solid 18ct white gold with the timeless appeal of the grey Roman dial, it is a watch equally suited to daily wear or long-term collecting.
