Model Day-Date Reference 18239 Case Material White and yellow gold Bracelet Material White, yellow and pink gold Rolex bracelet, approximate length 190mm Year 1989 Movement Automatic, cal. 3155, 31 jewels Case N° L882592 Dimensions 36mm Diameter Signed Case, dial and movement Since its debut in 1956, the Day-Date has stood as Rolex’s most esteemed dress watch collection. Traditionally crafted in gold or platinum, the brand introduced a distinctive variation in the 1980s, the Day-Date Tridor. This unique model combined 18K yellow, pink, and white gold, seamlessly integrating all three metals into the center links of the bracelet for a striking visual effect. Known under reference 18 239, the Tridor remained in production until the early 2000s, marking the end of an era for this exceptional take on Rolex’s flagship timepiece. The present Rolex reference 18 239 is an exceptional example showcasing a stunning ruby-set mother-of-pearl dial and a two-tone yellow and white-gold case, complemented by a Tridor bracelet. Preserved in excellent overall condition, with visible and deep hallmarks, the present Rolex Tridor is a great addition to the collection of rare and unique timepieces.

Discover all the different variants of this specific reference that can enhance, or limit, this watch's value and collectability.
Tropical Dial
A dial that has aged from black to a brown or caramel color due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and elements. Highly prized for its unique and attractive aging. Greatly increases value due to unique appearance and collector demand.
Khanjar
Part of the national emblem of Oman, watches fitted with "Khanjar" dials were made upon special request from His Majesty Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Oman, and are highly coveted.
Stella Dial
The Rolex Stella Dial refers to a series of brightly colored lacquered dials, primarily found on vintage Rolex Day-Date models from the 1970s and early 1980s. These dials are known for their bold, vibrant colors along with a high-gloss enamel finish that gives them a distinctive look. What makes the Stella Dials particularly collectible is their rarity and uniqueness, as they were produced in limited numbers and initially aimed at specific markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. Although not widely popular at the time, the retro appeal and scarcity of these colorful dials have made them highly desirable among modern collectors.
