Rolex Day-Date 118238 “Anniversary Emerald Green” — 18kt Yellow Gold, Full Set

The Day-Date has represented the most recognisable expression of Rolex leadership since 1956, and reference 118238 is one of the purest interpretations of the modern pre-ceramic generation: case and President bracelet entirely in 18 kt yellow gold, classic 36 mm proportions, and an authoritative presence on the wrist.

Its distinguishing element is the dial. Emerald Green Anniversary is among the most desired colours in the contemporary Rolex vocabulary, and in this emerald tone it takes on depth and movement under light, alternating compact bright reflections with darker passages — a configuration that holds tradition and contemporaneity in the same object.

The watch is offered as a full set, complete with its original box and guarantee. In this segment documentation is not an accessory: it materially affects desirability and the way the piece is read by collectors over time. The lot was conceived as a pairing of two Rolex dialects, the sporting tension of a Daytona and the institutional elegance of the Day-Date; the example presented here is the gold Day-Date, in the configuration described above.
