The Rolex Day-Date reference 18038 saw light in 1977, propelling the legendary model into the next generation.

The newly introduced 5-digit reference was an early adopter of the sapphire crystal, conferring the watch with a modern feel and look. The calibre 3055, fifth iteration of the Day-Date movement, introduced the quick-set function for the date setting. These innovations, coupled with the modern looks, have surely contributed to elevating the reference 18038 to an all-time favourite in Rolex collections.

This example features a most attractive blue dial, making this lot, which has been preserved in overall attractive condition, particularly desirable.
