Rolex Day-Date 36 18039 18K White Gold Rare Grey Dial (1983 Punched Papers)

Buy the rare vintage 18K white gold Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 18039 with a rare slate grey dial. Includes original 1983 punched papers. Inspected & warranted.

While the classic champagne dial yellow gold President is a legend in its own right, collectors seeking true rarity routinely turn to solid 18K white gold references. This Rolex Day-Date 36 Reference 18039 takes that exclusivity a step further by featuring a factory rare slate grey sunburst dial.

Dating to 1983, this piece embodies the ultimate "stealth-wealth" aesthetic. The rich, dark slate grey dial creates a dramatic, monochromatic pairing against the 18K white gold case and fluted bezel. Signed "T SWISS MADE T" at 6 o'clock, the dial is fitted with applied white gold baton markers and matching hands. It exhibits minor, almost invisible edge aging near the crown position—a tiny badge of honor for a watch over 40 years old that remains virtually unnoticed on the wrist.

Inside beats the robust Rolex Caliber 3055 automatic movement, offering the convenience of a Single-Quickset date function. The watch is worn on its iconic 18K white gold President bracelet. Best of all for collectors, this timepiece comes accompanied by its original punched paper Rolex warranty document issued by Artland Watch Co. Ltd. in Hong Kong, cementing its collectible status.
