Find this watchThis one’s got the kind of blue that stops traffic. The 18038 Day-Date is no stranger to yellow gold and big boss energy, but toss in this rare deep blue dial, and suddenly it’s not just presidential, it’s borderline royal. Produced in 1981, this piece comes from a time when Rolex didn’t hand out colored dials like candy. Housed in an 18k yellow gold case with a fluted bezel that catches light like it’s trying to make a point. The automatic Caliber 3055 ticks away inside. The bracelet? Solid President. The vibe? Quiet luxury, but louder than it looks. These blue dials barely pop up, and when they do, collectors usually don’t blink. A sharp case, rare dial, and just enough patina to prove it's lived.
