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 18039, dates to circa 1987 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. Furthermore, this piece features a very different Jubilee 'computer' Tritium dial with a matching handset, an 18k fluted bezel, and is accompanied by its punched papers from circa 1988. An 'elevated' Rolex for when the standard fare of solid gold won't cut it.
