Rolex Tridor Ref.18239B

The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18239B Tridor is one of the ultimate expressions of the Day-Date line  both in materials and in presence. It’s not often that a piece like this walks through our door.

The Tridor finish combines three shades of gold: white, yellow, and rose. The center links of the President bracelet show this unique blend at its best, framed by solid white-gold outer links. It’s a bold, confident design  if you want to go big, this is how you do it right.

This example is fitted with a rose-gold Jubilee dial set with 10 diamond hour markers, giving the watch a stunning and luxurious contrast. Inside beats the Calibre 3155 with Day-Date double quickset, making it easy to adjust the day, date, and time.

The Day-Date has always been a prestigious watch, but the Tridor elevates it even further. If you’re hunting for the ultimate luxury Day-Date, this one absolutely belongs on the shortlist. Complete with original box and service papers.

The president’s watch! The Rolex Day-Date is probably one of the most instantly recognizable watch designs ever made. Being only available in precious metals, it has become synonymous with success and prestige. A watch to celebrate accomplishment.

The Day-Date was launched in 1956 as the Ref. 6510 and Ref. 6511. It was the first watch to display the day of the week as well as the date, hence the name. It was updated to the Ref. 6611, adding Superlative Chronometer certification to the mix. The 6611 is the only Day-Date ever to be made in steel, but only 6 pieces are known to exist.

And then from 1959 until the late 1970’s, we see the most popular vintage Day-Date: the 1800 series. This is the archetypal Day-Date we all know and love. Lyndon B. Johnson was spotted wearing one in 1965, putting the nickname President’s watch firmly in the collective memory.

A 1977 update saw the introduction of a quickset date, in the new 18000 reference series. It wasn’t until 1988 before the 18200 series received a quickset day function, becoming the double quickset.

The Day-Date is available in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum. Countless dial variations include wood, stone and Stella options. Among the many case/bracelet finishes available, the bark is probably best known, resembling the irregular pattern of tree bark. The Day-Date is one of the few Rolex lines with factory gem-set bezels and dials as an option.

The Day-Date is an icon in pop-culture. It wasn’t just American presidents like Johnson and Kennedy who put it on the map. From Tony Soprano to Tupac Shakur, from Warren Buffett to Jennifer Aniston, they were all spotted wearing Day-Dates. Are you next?
