Alongside other models from the same era, the reference 18 239 introduced enhancements that improved durability and functionality, embodying the core values of the Rolex brand. Notably, it featured the newly developed caliber 3155, Rolex’s first movement to include a double quick-set function. This innovation allowed users to easily adjust both the day and date displays using the crown, offering a substantial improvement in convenience. Known as the “President’s Watch,” this iconic timepiece has long been associated with the elite, gracing the wrists of presidents, business leaders, and dignitaries over the years. As a result, any updates to this legendary model inevitably draw significant attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. The present Rolex reference 18 239 from 1991, bearing an “E” serial number, is a remarkable specimen of the reference. It features an excellent case with sharp edges, full lugs, and crisp, deep hallmarks. The sunburst silver dial, which has acquired a lovely and charming light patination, seamlessly pairs with its diamond-set hour markers and exudes an understated yet sophisticated sense of luxury. The timepiece is further accompanied by its Rolex-punctured and dated guarantee.

Discover all the different variants of this specific reference that can enhance, or limit, this watch's value and collectability.
Tropical Dial
A dial that has aged from black to a brown or caramel color due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and elements. Highly prized for its unique and attractive aging. Greatly increases value due to unique appearance and collector demand.
Khanjar
Part of the national emblem of Oman, watches fitted with "Khanjar" dials were made upon special request from His Majesty Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Oman, and are highly coveted.
Stella Dial
The Rolex Stella Dial refers to a series of brightly colored lacquered dials, primarily found on vintage Rolex Day-Date models from the 1970s and early 1980s. These dials are known for their bold, vibrant colors along with a high-gloss enamel finish that gives them a distinctive look. What makes the Stella Dials particularly collectible is their rarity and uniqueness, as they were produced in limited numbers and initially aimed at specific markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. Although not widely popular at the time, the retro appeal and scarcity of these colorful dials have made them highly desirable among modern collectors.
