The Rolex Day-Date, reference 18238 L, dates to 1989 and is built entirely in 18K yellow gold. The 36mm round case is fitted with a screw-down crown and topped by a fluted fixed bezel, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the champagne analog dial beneath. Yellow-gold hands sweep over index hour markers, with the display covering hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions.
Inside runs an automatic Swiss-made movement, keeping the watch running without the need for manual winding. The timepiece is worn on a leather strap, offering a classic alternative to a metal bracelet. Dial type is analog, and the watch carries a Swiss made designation.
This example comes with its original box. Original papers are not included. The sale also includes a jewelry box and appraisal certificate, as disclosed by the seller.
