Introduced in the late 1980s, the reference is powered by Rolex’s automatic calibre 3135 and maintains the clean, balanced layout the model is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"416\" data-end=\"821\"\u003eThis particular example stands out through its matte blue Roman dial. Unlike the more common glossy or sunburst finishes, the matte surface gives the dial a softer, slightly more understated appearance, while the deep blue tone adds contrast against the yellow gold case. The applied Roman numerals keep the design structured and legible, offering a slightly more classical feel compared to baton markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1130\"\u003eThe case remains well preserved with strong lugs and clear definition, paired with a matching President bracelet that enhances the overall look. The proportions are typical for the reference — comfortable and well balanced — while the full gold construction gives the watch a more substantial feel on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003eThe matte blue dial has a quiet presence that reveals itself gradually. It is not a loud configuration, but the contrast between the blue tone and yellow gold gives it enough character to stand apart from more common champagne or silver dials — a slightly different take on a very familiar reference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Momentum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52440776278325,"sku":"W.C.3.2.488","price":87900.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/9201\/files\/Front_b164bae8-1449-4819-b60f-69e45c902584.webp?v=1775917332","url":"https:\/\/momentum-dubai.com\/products\/1988-rolex-datejust-18k-yg-matte-blue-roman-dial-ref-16238","provider":"Momentum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
