This Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18038 is offered as head only and remains in very nice overall condition. The 18K yellow gold case features thick, sharp lugs and crisp edges, having been professionally polished in the past and worn sparingly ever since.

Fitted with a high-quality aftermarket black onyx dial, this example mirrors the exact font and layout of the original Rolex production. The dial presents a deep glossy finish, free of any cracks or blemishes, and is paired with matching tritium hands that preserve the original aesthetic.

The movement has been professionally serviced by our certified watchmaker in April 2025 and runs accurately. It has also passed pressure testing for water resistance.

This Day-Date comes fitted on a handmade 20/16mm black genuine alligator strap, secured with a gold-plated Rolex pin buckle. All case numbers remain intact and fully legible, with a 7 million serial dating the watch to approximately 1981.

A standout piece with a striking dial configuration and strong presence on the wrist.

Reference: 18038 Size: 36mm Year: 1981
