Brand: Rolex
Model: Day-Date Reference: 18238 Year: 1989 Serial number: L508XXX Material: steel Bracelet: steel Diameter: 40 millimeters Condition: very good Box&Papers: yes, complete package Description: Beautiful Day-Date with super rare Howlite or marble dial. Day-Dates with stone dials are something magical and every time I may offer one of these watches new my heart jumps. These watches have a charisma that must be experienced. Due to the individuality of the stone, each of these watches is unique and through the fine lines, structures and also the asymmetry of these stone features, these watches create a liveliness that no normal sheet can produce. The case of this watch is simply perfect. Absolutely unpolished, with perfect proportions, wonderful sharp edges and again equally perfect matte finish leave absolutely nothing to be desired. This watch has seen very little wear in the last thirty years and therefore shows a slight discoloration of the gold. This discoloration is caused by the copper content in the alloy and makes the watch tend to red gold in color. Wonderful to look at and another mark of the quality of this watch. Oh and also the push cover underlines the quality of this beauty. The green back cover sticker is wonderfully intact with clearly legible reference number 18238. The Howlite stone dial is the aforementioned highlight of this watch. Howlite is a mineral from the borate family. It was used by Rolex for the production of stone dials, because it is identical in color and structure to the white Carrara marble, but can be processed much better. Due to the identical appearance, Howlite dials are also often offered as marble dials. The problem with stone dials is always the manufacturing process. Many of these dials already suffered cracks and other damage when the indexes were set and therefore up to 10 stone cuts were necessary to be able to install a dial. Therefore, it is always important to carefully check whether the leaf has no cracks or other damage. This sheet is absolutely perfect. It shows no damage, no scratches, hairline cracks, or anything else. 100% perfectly cut stone. Furthermore, the dark vein structure is wonderfully present and creates the aforementioned magic of these leaves. The tritium hands are indent as the leaf in perfect condition. Like the watch, the bezel is unpolished and with matching patina to the case. This crazy cool Day-Date comes with original papers and fresh service papers from Rolex Geneva. Originally it was sold to Mappin & Webb Ltd. in England (lc 160). Part of the delivery is also the Oyster booklet, as well as the original box with outer box (not on the picture). In addition, the watch received a full movement service from Rolex Geneva in September this year. This was ordered by us and Rolex Geneva only revised the movement, as well as replaced the crystal. Case and bracelet were not touched! The 8385 President bracelet is perfect, as is the watch. It shows no stretch whatsoever, even the clasp is still sluggish. The strap has 22 links and with clasp code N8 for August 1989, it is the original strap to the watch. Conclusion: A magical Howlite Day-Date. Leaf, condition, scope of delivery, this quality is not often found on the open market these days. |
