1996 Rolex Day-Date 18238 Champagne Dial – Coming into Stock

1996 Rolex Day-Date 18238 Champagne Dial – Coming into Stock

Coming into stock shortly, this 1996 Rolex Day-Date reference 18238 features a champagne baton dial and is crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold. The watch will be prepared with a full service and light polish before being offered for sale.


The 18238 represents a classic era of the Day-Date, combining traditional proportions with solid gold construction and the instantly recognisable fluted bezel.


 

A true classic Day-Date

 


With its 36mm case, the 18238 remains the benchmark for the Day-Date line. The champagne dial is the most traditional configuration, offering a clean and balanced look that suits the watch perfectly.


The baton hour markers keep the dial simple and legible, while the overall design remains unchanged from what has made the Day-Date one of the most recognisable watches ever produced.


 

Timeless appeal

 


The Day-Date has long been associated with understated luxury. This reference delivers that in a straightforward way, without unnecessary detail or complication beyond the day and date display.


For those looking to buy a classic full gold Rolex, this is one of the most established and wearable options.


 

Coming soon

 


This watch will be available soon following its service and light polish, ensuring it is ready for its next owner.
