Petroleum Blue - Here's a superb example of a Rolex Day Date 18239 in white gold from 1996. The watch is overall in great condition with sharp edges and lugs that show factory finishing. The watch seems to only have been sparingly worn as the green case back sticker is still present. The dial is wow, a petroleum blue dial with a satin/matte finish like not seen on many other examples. Not only a great looking watch to wear but also to collect and they are so versatile. The watch comes with its original Warranty Certificate and will definitively stand out from the crowd, a very strong watch.

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.
