This exceptional Rolex Day-Date President ref. 18238, crafted in 18K yellow gold and dating to circa 1988, is offered in remarkably fine condition. It features a stunning and rare deep “Petroleum Blue” dial—a later, genuine Rolex dial distinguished by its rich unusual deep blue color dial and long-lasting Luminova hour markers. The vivid blue tone is unlike any we’ve previously encountered, making this example especially unique and visually striking.

The watch is powered by Rolex’s caliber 3155 automatic movement, offering sweep seconds along with the convenience of a double quick-set function for both the day and date displays. It comes fitted with its original 18K yellow gold President bracelet featuring the hidden Crownclasp and correct 55B end links. The bracelet remains impressively tight, showing minimal stretch and retaining over 90% of its original integrity.

Freshly serviced by our Rolex-certified watchmaker, this timepiece is offered with a full one-year warranty covering timekeeping and mechanical performance—making it a standout addition to any serious collection.
