Description

This is the Rolex Day-Date 18239. Within the Rolex line, the Day-Date is often the model that is associated with the highest level of prestige. Introduced in 1956, it was the first timepiece to display both the day and the date on the dial. The nickname, “The President”, was derived from this timepiece being gifted to then President Dwight Eisenhower. A lesser known fact, however, is that the nickname actually refers to the bracelet that accompanies the watch rather than the entire timepiece itself. Vintage Day-Dates have recently increased drastically in demand with the understanding that condition and rarity is key. This particular variant is the 18239 with a white-gold case and a classic “computer” jubilee dial with diamond set indices.

Condition

This Rolex Day-Date 18239 is in excellent pre-owned condition. There are minor hairlines on the case from prior wear consistent with its age. The case appears to have been lightly polished in the past but remains in very good shape with even lugs. The dial is clean. The hands are tritium with the minute hand a shade darker than the hour hand.
