The Day-Date is Rolex's highest-end model, available only in gold and platinum.
This is the first model that allows you to change the day of the week in addition to displaying the date.
This is a 182 series Day-Date.

The model number is "18248".
The bezel and bracelet are finished with a finish commonly known as "bark".
This is a discontinued Day-Date model.

By the way, the 180 series Bark is "18078".

Bark refers to the bark of a tree, and is characterized by its fine, deep veined decoration.
It creates a unique design that resembles the surface of fine wood.

Still, this design has some flair.

This fine shine is what makes it so appealing and different from the regular model.
This piece is in excellent condition and has a beautiful shine.

The case and bracelet are in good condition with only minor scuffs and small scratches!

The bezel and middle case also feature hour markers similar to those on the Engine Turned model.
It is kept in excellent condition!

What do you think of this attractive lug shape?

It will be a crisp, high-quality specimen!! The hairline is also beautiful.

While many of the bracelets are wrinkled,
A sturdy bracelet like this is also very attractive!

The rare champagne dial is also in excellent condition!!

The "G" dial set with 10P diamonds without any baguette diamonds is relatively rare.

If you look closely at this "G" dial,
The vertical hairlines on this dial are very beautiful!

It's interesting how just changing the hairline on the dial completely changes the feel!!

Accessories include box, warranty card, day-date booklet (94), Oyster booklet (95)
Comes with a calendar, chronometer tag, and extra links!!

Wrist shot!!

This is a stylish Day-Date watch that is not too flashy and has a unique retro feel!
