Dating to 1989, this Rolex Day-Date reference 18238 L pairs a 36mm 18K yellow gold round case with the model's iconic fluted bezel. The screw-down crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal round out the case details, while yellow-gold hands sweep across a champagne dial adorned with diamond hour markers.
Inside runs an automatic movement delivering hour, minute, second, and date functions. The watch closes with a buckle clasp, and the analog display reads with clarity against the warm champagne ground — the diamond markers adding a measured touch of brilliance to an already distinguished composition.
This example is offered with its original box. Papers are not included. The sale also comes with a jewelry box and appraisal certificate; attached to the appraisal is a one-year mechanical warranty.
