The Rolex Day-Date reference 18 038 is a distinguished and timeless model that has earned admiration for its classic design and exceptional craftsmanship. When paired with semi-precious stones, this iconic timepiece transcends the ordinary, becoming a rare and exclusive collector’s item. Introduced in the late 1970s, what sets the present 18 038 apart is the addition of a mesmerizing white agate dial, elevating the watch to a level of sophistication and individuality that is unparalleled. White agate, characterized by its milky appearance, introduces a sense of purity and luxury to the watch. The swirling patterns and subtle variations in the stone create a dial that is not only visually striking but also a testament to Rolex’s commitment to using the finest materials. The day and date windows at the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, respectively, seamlessly integrate into the pristine white agate dial, as do the Arabic 6 and 9 numerals set with diamonds. The 36 mm case of this specimen, meticulously crafted from 18-carat gold, is very nicely preserved, and the iconic President bracelet, synonymous with the Day-Date collection, further enhances the luxurious feel of the timepiece. The white agate dial variant of the Day-Date 18 038 is a statement of refined taste and individuality. The uniqueness of the agate dial ensures that each timepiece is one-of-a-kind, catering to those who seek exclusivity in their wrist wear. Adding to its preciousness is the original box, warranty, and service that come with the watch, making it absolutely unmissable for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
