Rolex Day-Date 18078 Black Stick Marker Dial Vintage President

A bold vintage Day-Date in full 18k yellow gold with a striking black dial. This Rolex Day-Date reference 18078 features the iconic 36mm President case crafted from solid 18k yellow gold. The black stick marker dial offers a dramatic contrast to the warm gold case – a combination that exudes confidence and sophistication. This example has been fully serviced and polished by Austin’s Watches and comes with their comprehensive purchase package.

The case is machined from solid 18k yellow gold. The classic fluted bezel catches the light beautifully and is the hallmark of the Day-Date collection. The black gloss dial features simple stick hour markers – no diamonds, just pure, elegant minimalism. The day window at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock are powered by the legendary Calibre 3055 movement, known for its robustness and quickset functionality.

The President bracelet completes the package. Its semi-circular three-piece links drape beautifully on the wrist and the concealed Crownclasp keeps the bracelet seamless and secure. Austin’s Watches includes a 2-year warranty on the movement, a luxury watch box, and a certificate of appraisal with every purchase. The black dial 18078 is considered one of the most desirable vintage Day-Date configurations.
