Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare day-date watch with an attractive dial.
Rolex Day-Date Ivory
Ref.18248 Serial.N1 (manufactured around 1991)
Cal.3155 8723/FF55B Clasp Code P10
Accessories: Inner box, warranty card (domestic regular June 1992 stamp)
Retail price: 4,378,000 yen (tax included)
The Day-Date is Rolex's highest-end model, available only in gold and platinum.
This is the "Ref. 18248" model, which is the first to allow the change of the day of the week in addition to the date display.
Compared to the thick kamaboko case of the previous model "Ref. 18038 series",
It has been changed to a stylish case.
The charm of the Day-Date introduced this time is,
It's a diamond index set on a special base!
This index, also known as "pinball," is very unique and has a certain charm.
Another attractive feature of this particular watch is its beautiful ivory dial.
This ivory dial has changed color significantly from its original white color.
The dial has an attractive glossy and soft texture.
The ivory dial is richly colored and features pinball diamonds.
This is a perfectly matched and extremely stylish Day-Date!!
Since it has an ivory dial, I took some photos and compared it with the 116520/Rich Ivory!
Although this is a highly classified specimen of 116520,
When compared like this, pinball is by far the more exciting option!
This is a comparison photo with the 16550 Ivory in stock at our store.
The quality of the ivory color is different, but 16550/Ivory is darker.
In terms of dial quality, the 18248 Ivory was more transparent and lustrous.
What did you think?
I hope I was able to convey some sense of the ivory color of this dial.
But still, this dial...
It has a glossy enamel-like dial and is very tasteful.
It's a beautiful dial.
The ivory dial is in very good condition.
It is in good condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass.
The hands are luminous with tritium and the condition of the luminous material is excellent!
This is a unique piece with pinball and ivory dial.
Another attractive feature is that this is a discontinued Day-Date watch with a finish on the bezel and bracelet commonly known as "bark."
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.
This fine shine is what makes it so appealing and different from the regular model.
The overall condition is that there are scratches and scuffs associated with use,
The overall condition is outstanding and it is a very good specimen!
The middle case is in the condition you see here!
This is a non-polished piece with no sign of case thinning at all!
The overall gold color gives it a vintage feel.
It's pretty cool.
The lug feet are firmly in place and are truly rock solid.
The fine hairline looks great too!
Buckle clasp code is "P10"
The bark bracelet, which matches the age, is in good condition with only very slight creasing!
Accessories include inner box, warranty card, day-date booklet, Oyster booklet,
It comes with extra frames.
Wrist shot!!
The more you look at it, the more seductive and beautiful the dial becomes!
It's rare to come across such a stylish date watch!!
Rolex Day-Date "Ref.18248/Pinball"
The gold-plated bark case and the lustrous ivory pinball dial are a perfect match for this exquisite piece!
