Finding New Old Stock Vintage Rolex is a highlight in every dealer's life. My heart start beating faster when I open that box and unpack the watch which was sold to us as an unworn new old stock watch. This very Rolex Day Date 18038 remains unworn since the day it was bought in 1988 in Kowloon Hong Kong. The factory finishing is fully intact and no signs of polishing whatsoever. The case back sticker is fully present without any tarnishing from wear. Further the watch comes with everything from new including the original Certificate and box.

Brief History
Rolex Day-Date
Arguably one of the most iconic watches ever made, the Day-Date aka the Rolex President was introduced in 1956 and was the first to feature both the day and date in dedicated windows on the dial.
The Day-Date is the top model in the Rolex line-up and comes in an array of configurations with rare and special dials and case decorations. It has only ever been made in precious metals with Automatic movements and historically with an elegant diameter of 36mm - the perfect size for an iconic dress watch.
