Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 – 18k Yellow Gold – Black Onyx Dial – Box & Papers – 1994 – Full Set – Unpolished Mint Condition

We are pleased to offer this exceptional Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 in 18k yellow gold, accompanied by its original box and papers and presented in outstanding unpolished mint condition. Produced in 1994, this remarkable example combines one of Rolex's most prestigious references with the highly desirable and rare black onyx dial, making it a true collector's piece.

Since its introduction in 1956, the Day-Date has remained Rolex's flagship model and the world's most iconic precious-metal wristwatch. Exclusively crafted in precious metals, the Day-Date quickly earned the nickname "President" and became the watch of choice for world leaders, influential figures, and discerning collectors alike.

This particular reference is fitted with the coveted black onyx dial, one of the most elegant and sought-after stone dials ever offered by Rolex. Free from hour markers and featuring a deep, mirror-like black appearance, the onyx dial creates a striking contrast against the warm tones of the 18k yellow gold case and President bracelet. The result is a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic that stands apart from standard dial configurations.

Inside beats the Rolex Calibre 3155, a highly reliable automatic movement featuring the signature day and date displays with double quick-set functionality. Renowned for its durability and precision, the movement perfectly complements the everyday practicality and prestige of the Day-Date collection.

Preserved in unpolished mint condition and offered as a complete full set, this 1994 example represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a highly collectible Day-Date with one of the most desirable dial configurations available.
