Estimate: € 6,000 –⁠ 12,000

The Rolex Day-Date is undoubtedly a model that has remained a symbol of prestige and refinement since its inception in 1956. Crafted in yellow gold, the present ref. 18 038 is further elevated by its remarkably rare white “ivory” pyramidal dial. Rolex is renowned for its bold approach to dial design, and this particular example is no exception: the pyramid-textured pattern creates a striking three-dimensional effect, reflecting light beautifully while adding an extra layer of depth to the already iconic Day-Date aesthetic. Further enhancing its appeal, this example is fitted with applied Roman numerals, which provide a perfect contrast against the geometric motif of the dial. Preserved in exceptional condition, what also sets this watch apart is its completeness —accompanied by its original box and warranty. Watches with such special dials are largely appreciated on the market, making this an intriguing find for the discerning collector.
