The 18038 Day Date has been produced from 1978 until 1988 and comes with sapphire crystal and quickset date movement. We think its one of the best value for money Rolexes on the market. 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, the combination of gold with a glossy black provides a very pure and elegant look. This watch is in excellent unpolished condition and comes with box, and booklet.
