Rolex Day-Date 118238: Green Dial and Yellow Gold Style

A green dial gives this yellow colored Day-Date a strong contrast without adding gemstones. The sunburst effect shifts with the light, while the fluted bezel and bright bracelet center links bring out the warmer tones around it.

The original article identified the watch as an 18 karat yellow gold Rolex Day-Date reference 118238. That description should be checked against the watch's records before a purchase; the gallery alone cannot verify its reference or dial originality.

The Details That Define This Look

Baton hour markers leave much of the green surface visible. The day window sits at twelve o'clock, and the date appears beneath a magnifying lens at three. The bracelet's rounded three piece links continue the softer lines of the case.

Try a comparable watch on before judging it from a close photograph. Bracelet length, link wear and clasp fit affect how it sits just as much as the diameter stated in a listing.

Color Does Not Establish Rarity

The earlier article claimed that only a handful of these watches were made. No production record was supplied to support that claim. A green dial should not be presented as proof of a limited edition or a guaranteed investment.

Ask whether the dial is original to the watch, a service replacement or an aftermarket component. Request service records and have the movement, day and date functions and bracelet condition inspected.
