Commonly referred to as the "President’s watch", the Rolex Day-Date has garnered iconic status since its initial release in 1956. Predominantly encased in precious metals, the Day-Date is one of the most diverse ranges of wristwatches that Rolex has to offer, with examples in varying sizes, case and dial materials, dial configurations, and dazzling gem-setting.

The present Day-Date from circa 1984 falls into one of the rarest categories of the model. The reference 18039 was first introduced by Rolex in 1978, upgraded from the famed and much-loved reference 1803, most notably with a sapphire crystal. Encased in white gold, the present example features an extremely rare "jasper" dial. Further enhancing its importance is the fact that the dial’s color is a deep and vibrant monochrome green shade, reminiscent of the color the brand itself is associated with.

With most "jasper" dials found in yellow gold cases, and many of them being red jasper dials (commonly referred to as "bloodstone"), this white gold case with green jasper dial is considered to be one of the rarest configurations for this reference. Presented in outstanding overall condition and most probably unpolished, it is an exceptional example for the connoisseur.

Furthermore, providing an added layer of confidence, the present watch has returned to Rolex for a servicing and is confirmed in the service paper as having a "Jasper Dial", and is under warranty until June 2025.
