The 18038 Day Date has been produced from 1978 until 1987 and comes with sapphire crystal and quickset date movement. Many special dial variants exist for this model including Stella, Diamond and Stone dials. The Onyx dial is one of the most popular stone dials on a Day Date not only because of its clean and neat appearance lacking all indexes but also the combination of black and gold works so well. The current example is in great condition and bears a mint dial free of any cracks or blemishes. We are happy to offer this watch in a beautiful full set with box, papers and booklets, just like you wish to find it.
