Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today's featured watch is a rare Day-Date with an attractive dial.

ROLEX Day-Date
Ref.18238 Serial.A6 (Manufactured around 1999)
Cal.3155 8385/FF55B Clasp Code X8
Accessories: Box, Warranty card (110: France/Stamped August 2000), International service warranty card (Stamped March 2026)
SOLD OUT!!

The Day-Date is Rolex's highest-end model, available only in gold or platinum.
This is the "Ref.18238" model, which was the first model to allow day changes in addition to the date display.

Compared to the thick, kamaboko-shaped case of the previous model, "Ref.18038,"
the case was changed to a more stylish design.

Due to the soaring price of gold,
the market price for 5-digit Day-Dates has risen sharply in recent months.

However, it is still attractively priced compared to the current Day-Date models,
so 5-digit Day-Dates are a good target.

The charm of the Day-Date we are introducing today is, above all,
this champagne Roman dial!!

What do you think?
Have you ever seen this dial before?

Honestly, it's my first time seeing it.

There's a bark-like pattern on the outer edge of the dial, isn't there!!

I can't believe such a dial existed.

The more you look at it, the more profound this mysterious dial becomes.

When viewed up close, it is an incredibly elaborate creation.

It's beautiful.

I would love for you to see this delicate finish with a loupe!

The dial condition is excellent,
maintaining a beautiful state even under a loupe.

The exterior has been polished and overhauled by the manufacturer,
so although there are some minor polishing remnants, it is generally in beautiful condition.

The middle case has not undergone excessive finishing,
and is solid.

The buckle clasp code is "X8."

The President bracelet, which matches the age,
is also in good condition with only very slight looseness.

The case back has hallmarks engraved on units sold in France.
These hallmarks are surprisingly not well-known.

Accessories include the box, warranty card, international service warranty card, invoice, chronometer tag,
Day-Date booklet, and Oyster booklet.

The more you look at it, the more enchanting and beautiful the dial is!

Wrist shot!! It's lovely~!!
It's rare to come across such a stylish Day-Date!!

Rolex Day-Date "Ref.18238/A6"
This is a rare Day-Date with an exceptional dial that is hard to come by,
and its overall condition is also excellent!
You simply must see this
delicate craftsmanship that current models cannot replicate!
It was recently serviced by the manufacturer, so it comes highly recommended!
If you are looking for a stylish Day-Date that stands out from the crowd,
please consider this one.
