Rolex Day-Date 36mm Ref. 18038 – Champagne Roman Dial – Spanish Day Wheel – 1982

We are proud to offer this beautiful Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18038 from 1982, executed in 18k yellow gold and presented in excellent overall condition.

This example features the classic champagne Roman numeral dial combined with a Spanish day wheel, giving the watch a distinctive and elegant character.

One of the strongest features of this particular watch is the condition of the case. The 36mm 18k yellow-gold Oyster case remains remarkably sharp, with strong lines and well-preserved proportions.

Dial & Day Wheel

The watch is fitted with a champagne dial featuring Roman numeral hour markers.

The Spanish day wheel adds an attractive and less commonly seen detail, while the date is displayed at 3 o’clock beneath the characteristic Cyclops magnification lens.

Bracelet & Clasp

The watch is currently fitted with an aftermarket President-style bracelet and aftermarket clasp.

Both components are clearly disclosed as non-original Rolex parts.

An original Rolex clasp can be fitted if desired, offering the possibility to upgrade the current configuration.

Movement

The watch is powered by the automatic Rolex Calibre 3055.

It is currently running well and functioning properly.

The movement is sold with a 12-month warranty.

Condition

The watch is offered in excellent overall condition.

The 18k yellow-gold case remains particularly sharp and well defined, which is an important characteristic for a Day-Date from this period.

The dial presents very well and the overall appearance of the watch is clean, elegant and well preserved.

Please study all detailed photographs carefully for an accurate impression of the exact cosmetic condition.
