Rolex Day-Date Onyx 18038

The 1986 Rolex Day-Date ref. 18038 is an elegant 36 mm President crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold and powered by the automatic Rolex calibre 3055. This particular example is especially distinctive for its black onyx hard-stone dial, featuring a deep, glossy surface and a minimalist aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the warm yellow gold. Natural stone dials were produced in much smaller quantities than standard Day-Date dials, making original onyx versions highly sought after by collectors. The simplicity of the dial allows the stone and precious metal to take center stage, giving the watch a timeless, luxurious character. This piece comes with a Rolex Certified Pre-Owned box and papers, completing the presentation of this exceptional vintage Day-Date.
