A true connoisseur’s piece – this Rolex Day-Date Reference 18039, a highly sought-after vintage timepiece crafted in solid 18K white gold, dating from 1982. 

What sets this particular example apart is its exceptionally rare 18K white gold Jubilee bracelet, a scarcely seen configuration - tight and original, with minimal stretch. Most models were paired with the more formal President bracelet, making this Jubilee variant a true collector’s treasure.

The beautiful and unique grey-brown sunburst dial is combined with a German language day disc – a charming regional detail rarely seen. The Rolex Caliber 3055, featuring the single quickset date mechanism – a technical upgrade introduced in the late 1970s, provides a power reserve of 48 hours.

The Rolex Day-Date, first introduced in 1956, was the world’s first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full – a revolutionary innovation at the time. Often referred to as the “President” watch, it became a symbol of power and prestige, famously worn by world leaders, entrepreneurs, and cultural icons.

Crafted only in precious metals – never in stainless steel – the Day-Date has always occupied the highest tier of Rolex’s catalog. The 18039 reference continued this proud tradition in the 1980s, offering refined aesthetics, modernized movement upgrades, and precious-metal exclusivity.

This particular piece stands as a rare combination of collectible features: the desirable white gold case, seldom-seen grey-brown dial, German day disc, and the ultra-rare Jubilee bracelet – a configuration that seldom appears on the market.
