This Rolex Day-Date ref. 18039 from 1979 is an early example of the five-digit Day-Date generation, introduced around this period with the upgraded calibre 3055 and convenient quickset date function. Crafted in 18k white gold, it features an elegant silver dial with diamond hour markers, complemented by the iconic fluted bezel and President bracelet. As one of the earlier examples of this important generation, the watch combines vintage character with a significant step forward in Rolex’s Day-Date history.
