Pre-Owned Rolex Day-Date 'Bark Tapestry' 40921941/AS06768

WHY WE LOVE IT

Few watches make a statement like a solid gold Rolex.

This anachronistic blend of technical design and functionality with a precious metal casing material is a polarizing one, and depending on how its worn (and indeed, by whom), can send very different signals - and we'll just leave it at that.

But in an expanding community of vintage enthusiasts, how do you maintain your individuality while also seeking to acquire some of the 'standard fare' iconic timepieces?

Enter the special finishes.

This particular Day-Date, a Reference 18248, dates to circa 1996 and features an 18k yellow gold case with factory 'bark' finishing on the bezel and bracelet, an English language calendar, and a champagne 'tapestry' Tritium dial with applied indices and a matching handset.

When only a gold Rolex will do, this Day-Date is it — just with a bit of subtle cool-factor added!

OVERALL CONDITION

The case is in outstanding condition overall showing light signs of wear from gentle use. Champagne 'tapestry' Tritium dial with applied 'baton' indices is in fantastic condition showing light, even patination to the luminous elements with matching handset. 18K yellow gold bezel with ‘bark’ finishing. Signed crown. Factory caseback sticker is nearly perfect.
