Rolex Day-Date 'Tridor'

Quickset Day-Dates were once a thing of fantasy. Early Day-Date models offered no Quickset functionality, meaning that both the Day and Date functions had to be manually set - with a fair amount of winding, mind you - by the user in order to display the correct information on the calendar complications. by the late 1970s, Rolex had improved the system and began offering Single-Quickset versions in the 'five digit' References based on the 18038. This particular watch, a Reference 18039A, dates to circa 1986 and is not 'just another' solid gold Day-Date... Finished in Rolex's Tridor blend of yellow, rose, and white gold, this particular Day-Date offers some additional flair for those looking or something a little bit out there. It features an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, a lovely sunburst champage dial with factory applied diamond indices and a matching handset, and a matching Tridor gold bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp. An 'elevated' Rolex for when the standard fare of solid gold won't cut it.
