1980 Rolex Day Date Champagne Dial Ref. 18038

Timeless Elegance The Rolex Day-Date has been a symbol of understated luxury since its introduction in 1956. While the collection is known for its many unusual dials and elaborate configurations, there is something particularly appealing about the simplicity of a classic yellow gold Day-Date with a champagne dial. This Ref. 18038 from 1980 is a lovely example of that timeless combination. The warm champagne dial with matching hands, fluted bezel and perfectly proportioned 36 mm case give the watch an elegant, discreet appearance that has hardly changed over the decades. Our example is preserved in very nice vintage condition, with a strong 18K yellow gold case, well-defined lugs and an excellent champagne dial. Fitted with a leather strap, it offers a slightly more understated alternative to the traditional President bracelet. A classic Day-Date that doesn't need to make a statement. Simple, elegant and just as appealing today as it was over forty years ago.
