Rolex Day-Date ll White Gold Diamond Dial (2015)

A super-sized classic.

The Rolex Day-Date has been a symbol of prestige and refinement since its introduction in 1956, earning the iconic nickname “President”. Introduced in 2008, the Day-Date II brought a bold new presence to Rolex’s flagship collection with its larger 41mm case, offering a contemporary interpretation of the traditional 36mm design. Produced for a relatively short period before being succeeded by the Day-Date 40 in 2015, the Ref. 218239 is an increasingly uncommon model to encounter, particularly in solid 18ct white gold. Its distinctive proportions and limited production era have made it an appealing choice for collectors seeking something beyond the classic Day-Date.

This Rolex Day-Date II Ref. 218239 features a substantial 41mm case crafted entirely from 18ct white gold, complemented by Rolex’s signature fluted gold bezel. Its elegant silver dial is adorned with eight brilliant-cut diamond hour markers and two baguette-cut diamonds, creating a refined combination of precious metal and fine jewellery detailing. The iconic day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock complete its unmistakable appearance, while the prestigious 18ct white gold President bracelet adds exceptional presence on the wrist. Importantly, this example remains in unpolished condition, preserving its factory case finish and original contours, a particularly desirable characteristic among discerning Rolex collectors.

Powering the watch is the Rolex calibre 3156 automatic movement, featuring a Parachrom hairspring and offering an approximately 48-hour power reserve. Offered with box and card, circa 2015. With its uncommon 41mm proportions, sophisticated silver diamond-set dial and substantial white gold construction, this Day-Date II represents a distinctive chapter in Rolex’s prestigious Day-Date history. Its unpolished condition further enhances its collector appeal, making this a compelling opportunity to acquire a less frequently encountered example of Rolex’s flagship dress watch. For complete peace of mind, this timepiece is accompanied by our 24 month J. Farren Price warranty.
