Rolex Day-Date Ivory

Cal.3155 8723/FF55B Clasp Code P10
Accessories: Inner box, warranty card (domestic official June 1992 stamp)
SOLD OUT!!

The Rolex Day-Date is the pinnacle of Rolex's model, available only in gold or platinum.
This is the "Ref. 18248" model, which is the first to allow the day of the week to be changed 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,
The diamond index is set on a special base!

This index, also known as "pinball," is very unique and has a certain charm.

Another attractive feature of this watch is its beautiful ivory dial.

This ivory dial has changed color significantly from its original white.
The dial has an attractive glossy and soft texture.

The ivory dial changes color and the pinball diamonds are
It's a perfectly matched and extremely stylish Day-Date!!

Since it has an ivory dial, I took some photos and compared them with the 116520/rich ivory!

Although it is classified as a highly likely specimen of 116520,
When you compare them like this, pinball is definitely more exciting!

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 a little bit of the ivory color of this dial.

But still, this dial...
It has a glossy enamel dial with a very tasteful finish.
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 luminous condition is excellent!

This is a pinball watch with an ivory dial and other distinctive features.
Another attractive feature of this discontinued Day-Date is that the bezel and the inner links of the bracelet are finished in a finish commonly known as "bark."

Bark refers to the bark of a tree, and is characterized by its fine, deep lines.
It creates a unique design that resembles the surface of fine wood.
This delicate shine, which is different from the regular model, is what makes it so appealing.

The overall condition is good with some wear and tear due to use,
The overall condition is excellent and it is an excellent specimen!

The middle case is in the condition you see here!
This is a non-polished model with no noticeable case thinning!

The overall gold tan gives it a vintage feel.
It's pretty cool.

The lug legs are firmly in place, and are what you might call 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 creases!

Accessories include inner box, warranty card, day-date booklet, Oyster booklet,
It comes with extra pieces.

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"
This is a masterpiece that exudes style, with a gold-tone bark case and a lustrous ivory pinball dial that perfectly complement each other!
It's a special model that you don't see often,

It is definitely rare to find such a high-quality specimen that comes with a warranty and is in excellent overall condition!
