In Rolex collecting, while sports models continue to dominate in popularity, the watch community is finally beginning to appreciate the brand’s more formal offerings—particularly precious-metal Datejusts and Day-Dates from the last few decades. It is frankly baffling that vintage and neo-vintage Day-Dates can still be found at current prices. When new, these watches often cost five to ten times more than their steel sports counterparts, and as a result, far fewer have survived in good condition.

The reference 18239 features a double quickset function and an 18k white-gold construction. It is exceptionally rare to find an example in such outstanding condition. The watch spent just a day with us before finding its way into a fantastic collection.
