The Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 18239 showcases the refined character of one of Rolex’s most distinguished dress watches, presented here in 18K white gold with a striking factory black diamond dial. The compact 36mm case delivers the classic proportions associated with the Day-Date collection, while the matching white-gold bracelet creates a seamless and sophisticated finish.
Beneath the sapphire crystal, the distinctive black dial provides an elegant contrast to the precious-metal case and diamond-set detailing. The signature day and date displays remain central to the watch’s identity, complemented by the dependable Rolex Calibre 3155 automatic movement with an approximately 48-hour power reserve.
Dating to approximately 1990, this example combines period character with an especially distinctive configuration. The rare factory black diamond dial, white-gold construction, and classic Day-Date profile make it a compelling choice for collectors looking for an understated yet highly individual Rolex.
