Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!
Today, it's a rare Day-Date with a charming dial.

Rolex Day-Date Ivory
Ref.18238 Serial.E4 (Manufactured around 1991)
Cal.3155 8385/FF55B Clasp code P1
Accessories: Watch head only

The Day-Date, Rolex's highest model, is only available in gold or platinum.
This is the "Ref.18238," the first model that allowed for changing the day of the week in addition to the date display.

Compared to the thick, kamaboko-shaped case of the previous model, "Ref.18038,"
this model features a more stylish case.

The most appealing feature of the Day-Date we're introducing today is, without a doubt,
the diamond indices set on a unique pedestal!

These indices, also known as "pinball," are truly unique and tasteful.

Another appealing feature of this particular piece is its beautiful ivory dial.

This ivory dial, which has discolored significantly from its original white,
is attractive for its lustrous and soft texture.

The pinball diamonds perfectly complement the deeply colored ivory dial,
making this a supremely stylish Day-Date!

The translucent ivory dial is in excellent condition,
maintaining its beautiful state.

The luminous material on the hands is tritium, and its condition is also good!

Overall, there are some scuffs and scratches from use,
but the overall condition is excellent, making it a superb piece!

Take a look at the condition of the middle case!!
This is a non-polished level individual with absolutely no thinning of the case!

The lugs are sharply defined, what we call "crisp."

The finely detailed hairline finish is also beautiful!

The edges of the bezel are also sharp and well-defined!

The buckle clasp code is "P1"

The President bracelet, which matches the era,
is in top condition with hardly any stretch!

It is missing 3 links,
but additional links can be sold separately if requested.

The caseback still has its original sticker!!

Wrist shot!!
The more you look at it, the more enchanting and beautiful the dial is!
It's rare to come across such a stylish Day-Date!!

Rolex Day-Date "Ref.18238/Pinball"
This is an irresistibly cool masterpiece with a beautiful, glossy ivory dial that exudes charm, combined with striking diamond indices!!
It's undoubtedly rare to encounter such a superb example of a Day-Date with a rare dial and outstanding overall condition!
For customers looking for an incredibly stylish Day-Date, please consider this piece.
