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 1991 and features an 18k yellow gold case with a magnified sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a deep glossy black Tritium dial with applied indices and a matching handset, and a factory 'bark' finished yellow gold bezel with a matching President bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp.
When only a gold Rolex will do, this Day-Date is it — just with a bit of subtle cool-factor added!
OVERALL CONDITION

Gloss black Tritium dial with applied 'baton' indices is in outstanding condition showing light, even patination to the Tritium luminous elements with matching handset. 18K yellow gold bezel with ‘bark’ finishing.
