Rolex Day-Date 18039 Blue Vignette Diamond Dial 18k WG
A legendary timepiece with an unrivaled history, the Rolex Day-Date has earned its place as "The Ultimate Watch of Prestige" from its decades on the wrists of the world's most influential people. Released in 1956, the Day-Date quickly became synonymous with luxury, prestige, and exclusivity thanks to being the watch of choice for the world's athletes, visionaries, and world leaders alike. Only ever constructed of precious metals, the Day-Date's aesthetic is that of sheer elegance and grace. Aside from the beautiful array of dial options that have been available over the decades, the Day-Date's most iconic piece of design is its three-piece "Presidential" or "President" bracelet. Forming the bedrock of its design, the Presidential bracelet has become synonymous with Rolex's flagship collection and their desire to create the very best and most iconic watches that the world has ever seen. With its timeless design and inescapable impact on horology, the Day-Date stands as a vivid reminder of just how successful they have been in realizing that very mission.
THE DIAL Sporting a truly stunning vignette finish, this example's dial transitions from a light sapphire blue at its core to near-black navy along its periphery. Contrasting this dark rim of the dial, this example also swaps the Day-Date's traditional gold hour markers with brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamond hour markers for a flourish of luxury and beauty.
THE CONSTRUCTION This ref. 18039's 18kt white gold construction features all of the Day-Date's signature elements with its 36mm case, iconic Presidential bracelet and wonderful fluted bezel.
