Rolex Day-Date 18038 in yellow gold presented as a head-only configuration and retained in very nice condition. The case maintains thick, sharp lugs with natural wear consistent with age, showing no notable damage. Its fluted bezel remains crisp, and the crystal exhibits only minor surface marks. This example features a genuine lapis lazuli stone dial identical to factory specification. The dial is flawless, free of cracks or imperfections, and paired with original period-correct tritium hands. All case numbers are fully visible and intact, with a 6.3 million serial placing production around 1979. The movement received a full professional service in December 2025, runs accurately, and has been pressure tested to 3ATM (30m). The watch is fitted with a 20/16mm brown suede leather strap and a gold-plated Rolex pin buckle. **Reference:** 18038 **Size:** 36mm **Year:** 1979 📜 Includes: Custom [travel pouch](https://bogossia.com/products/travel-carrying-case) ($50+ value) 💵 Price: $11,300 + FREE overnight shipping with FedEx fully insured.
