Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 – Factory “Pleiade” Diamond Dial in 18K Yellow Gold

This is more than just a Rolex Day-Date—it's a rare expression of haute horology from the world's most prestigious watchmaker. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, this Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 features a factory-original “Pleiade” diamond dial, one of the most coveted and visually arresting dial variants ever produced by the brand. Fully original and preserved in outstanding condition, this piece exemplifies Rolex's peerless gem-setting expertise and refined luxury from case to clasp.

The “Pleiade” dial, named after the star cluster in the constellation Taurus, is a dazzling constellation of meticulously set round brilliant-cut diamonds. The pattern is inspired by the stars themselves—each diamond appearing like a point of light across the golden dial surface. It's a rare dial produced in extremely limited numbers by Rolex, and one that embodies their mastery of symmetry, light play, and restrained opulence. The day and date apertures remain intact at 12 and 3 o'clock, balancing the design and anchoring the dial's galactic aesthetic.

The solid 36mm 18k yellow gold Oyster case is fitted with a fluted bezel and paired with the iconic President bracelet—featuring semi-circular links and a concealed Crownclasp, combining visual fluidity with comfort. This isn't just a piece of jewelry; it's Rolex's most prestigious bracelet matched to its most prestigious model.

Beneath the surface lies the Rolex Caliber 3155, a COSC-certified automatic movement offering double quickset functionality—a key innovation introduced with the 182XX series. Both the day and date can be adjusted independently via the crown, while the movement provides excellent accuracy and dependability backed by Rolex's legendary engineering.

This 18238 is all original, factory-configured, and incredibly rare—not only for its Pleiade dial, but for its condition and completeness. Rolex's gem-setting atelier is known for setting every diamond by hand to within microscopic tolerances, and this piece showcases that standard with brilliance. For collectors who seek a Day-Date that truly stands apart, this is a celestial treasure worthy of the legend it represents.
