About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with an orig. Rolex President large brown leather lined wooden box with a Rolex buckle (Worth S$500+) +outer box, period manual and undated paper.

This rare Bark-finished Rolex President in full 18KYG has been very well kept by the long time owner for the last three decades. The watch presents very well with sharp lugs and a tight bracelet showing light wear to the bark relief throughout the entire watch. According to the production numbers, this watch dates to 1985 as the certificate was undated but stamped by dealer.

The Ref.18078 is one of the first Rolex to be fitted with the sapphire glass being the flagship model of the company when others were fitted with acrylic crystal well into late 1980s. It was also the first to feature a single quick-set date function with the then new movement Cal.3055 which was much improved over the Cal.1570, offering extra jewels, higher VPH from 21600 to 28800 (4Hz) and also a free-sprung balance. This model was descended from the Ref.1807 with the 7 signifying the unique Bark-finish on the bezel and bracelet.

This watch is fitted with original black dial with diamond indexes and is it showing fine blemishes due to aging that can only be seen when light strikes on the surface.

This is a cherished watch with full accessories kept for 3 decades. The watch was sent to the Rolex Center in Singapore for a full works costing S$1579 with an invoice dated 31 Jan 2019 and is now under warranty by Rolex for Two years till Jan 2021, so the watch is freshly serviced and will not require attention for the next few years.

Watch has been tested for water tightness and movement regulated so she is expected to perform like new with a 100m water resistance, a task very few Day-date can perform from this age.

This Rolex will make a very good investment and a brilliant bargain as a present day President Day-Date with similar specs will easily set you back S$49,230.

A gem like this will not be easily repeated especially given it's condition so don't miss this.
