A very rare and highly collectible Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18038, presented in fully original and unpolished condition. The solid 18k yellow gold case retains its factory finish with sharp, thick lugs and only minor signs of wear, preserving its original proportions and character. Its standout feature is the original wood dial, perfectly preserved without cracks, marks, or discoloration—an exceptionally rare variant within the Day-Date line. The original President bracelet remains tight with minimal stretch and comfortably fits up to an 8” (20cm) wrist. Additional links can be provided upon request. All case numbers are sharp and fully legible, with a 6.4 million serial dating the watch to the early 1980s. The watch was last serviced in 2021 by a Rolex Service Center in Italy and continues to run accurately. This example comes directly from the original Italian family and is accompanied by its Italian day wheel, original papers, service papers, and box—an uncommon and desirable full set. A standout opportunity to acquire a rare Day-Date with a wood dial in remarkable condition and complete provenance. **Reference:** 18038 **Size:** 36mm **Year:** 1983 📜 Includes: Original box & papers 💵 Price: $26,000 + FREE overnight shipping with FedEx fully insured.
