Pre-Owned Rolex Day-Date 40921810/AS06571

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. So-called five digit Day-Dates (reference variants with five digits) are a quintessential staple of the Neo-Vintage era. These models showed up in the late 70s and offer the added functionality of a higher-beat movement for accuracy and a quick-set date mechanism. They retain the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have similar variation for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations. Luminous models also retain Tritium material, offering tremendous opportunities for unique characteristics of patina. This particular example, a Reference 18239, dates to circa 1995 and features an 18k white gold case, an eye-catching and funky champagne Jubilee dial with factory applied diamond indices and a matching handset, an 18k fluted bezel, and a matching 18k yellow gold President bracelet with a hidden deployant clasp. If you are looking for a classic, 'elevated' timepiece that packs a big punch in an understated way, this might just be the perfect choice!

OVERALL CONDITION The case is in excellent condition throughout showing light signs of wear from age and use. Champagne 'Jubilee' dial with factory applied diamond indices is in equally excellent condition with matching handset. English day wheel. Signed crown.
