This Rolex Day-Date, reference 18048, is a 36mm case in Yellow Gold used condition, featuring a Black Diamond 8+2 dial, a Diamond Bezel bezel, a President bracelet, dated circa 1984. This piece is customized — aftermarket-modified (setting or dial added outside the manufacturer); not original factory condition. Priced dealer-direct and shipped fully insured.
Condition decides the number on these. Check the President bracelet for stretch, sound end-links, and a tight clasp, then confirm the dial is original. Factory stone, lacquer, or gem dials are prized. Fluted and smooth bezels hold value steadily, while RBR diamond bezels cost more up front. We grade honestly and quote trade-level. Wire saves the card surcharge, and the model exits cleanly when it's time. Read the full Day-Date buying guide ›
Think of a Rolex as both a watch and a position you can exit. The 1905 Geneva manufacture, started by Hans Wilsdorf, pioneered waterproof cases, self-winding movements, and date functions, earning a precision reputation that runs past horology. The Oyster, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens need no introduction. Submariners, GMT-Master IIs, and Daytonas in steel trade above retail, which is why wire-versus-card savings change your real cost. Browse all Rolex ›
