This classic Rolex Day-Date 18038 dates to 1979 and features a 6.173XXX serial number. It is fitted with a sleek original black tritium dial showing light, even wear, paired with later service Luminova hands. The case was serviced and polished by Rolex in 2021 and remains in very good condition, with only minor signs of use. The watch is mounted on a Rolex alligator strap with a gold-plated Rolex ardillon buckle. Offered in excellent overall condition, this early single quickset Day-Date combines vintage appeal with modern reliability thanks to its recent Rolex service.
