1985 Rolex Day-Date 18038 White Roman Unpolished
Condition is always king when it comes to precious metal watches like the Day-Date. Seldom seen ‘skinny’ white roman yellow gold hour markers, with perfectly round lume plots that have aged to a yolk color against the white dial, creates an incredibly pleasing and clean aesthetic. Some of that gorgeous rosy patina has developed on the case and the bracelet, both of which appear to be unpolished. Well-defined brushing on the lugs as well as the bracelet. The original caseback sticker remains. Spanish ‘day’ wheel.
Serial - Year: 8.7m serial ~1985
Bracelet - Strap: 8385 bracelet, 5 removable screws
Box - Papers - Accessories: Watch only
Service History: Unknown. Running at 2s/d, 310 amplitude
