Rolex - Rolex Day Date Roman 'Tiffany & Co' Ref. 18038, 1979
Tiffany & Co
Tiffany & Co - Double stamped watches have not been made in big numbers as they were not sold by Rolex ADs. From all the retailers who were allowed to double stamp, Tiffany & Co seems to be the most popular retailer name, not only on Rolex watches.
This very watch is a 1979 Day Date reference 18038 with sapphire crystal and single quick set movement which was produced until 1989. With its yellow gold case, fluted bezel and President bracelet its the most iconic Day Date configuration and a success ever since it was launched. The beautiful unusual matte white dial with applied Roman numerals is in excellent condition and bears the rare Tiffany & Co stamp.
A very understated watch with that little extra on the dial we would say.
