The holy grail for vintage Rolex collectors. This Rolex Day-Date reference 18238 features the iconic 36mm President case in solid 18k yellow gold. But the true star is the dial – a genuine factory Lapis Lazuli stone dial, one of the rarest and most desirable configurations Rolex has ever produced. Produced in 1993, this example has been fully serviced and polished by Austin’s Watches and comes as a complete full set with original box and papers.
The case is machined from solid 18k yellow gold. The classic fluted bezel sparkles with every twist of the wrist. The Lapis Lazuli dial is a natural stone – each one is completely unique, with its deep blue color and golden flecks of pyrite that seem to glow in the light. Rolex rarely produced stone dials due to the difficulty of cutting the brittle material without cracking it, especially around the day window at 12 o’clock. The day window at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock are powered by the legendary Calibre 3155 movement, known for its robustness and double quickset functionality.
The President bracelet completes the package. Its semi-circular three-piece links drape beautifully on the wrist. The concealed Crownclasp keeps the bracelet seamless and secure. Full sets of the 18238 with Lapis Lazuli dial are exceptionally rare – most stone dial watches have lost their original boxes and papers over the past three decades. Austin’s Watches includes a 2-year warranty on the movement, a luxury watch box, and a certificate of appraisal with every purchase.
