BRAND HISTORY

Rolex Day-Date 18039 – White Gold with Rare Burl Wood Dial

The Rolex Day-Date reference 18039 is a classic example of the brand’s craftsmanship from the 1980s. Made from solid 18k white gold and fitted with the signature President bracelet, the watch carries the unmistakable presence of the Day-Date line. Its 36mm case, fluted bezel, and automatic caliber 3055 movement with quickset date combine reliability with unmistakable design.

The highlight of this model is the rare wood dial, part of a special series where Rolex experimented with natural materials. Each dial is unique, showing distinct wood grain patterns and warm tonal variations that make every piece one of a kind. The day and date display remain clear and functional, balancing practicality with character.

Sought after by collectors, the Day-Date 18039 with wood dial stands out as a piece of Rolex history—where traditional watchmaking met creative dial design.

GOLDAMMER REFERENCE: #1201

Rolex

No other name in watchmaking carries the same quiet power as Rolex. For over a century, it has stood as a symbol of precision, durability, and refined confidence. But beyond the fame and functionality lies a more intimate story — one told through the understated elegance of its dress watches and classic references.

At GOLDAMMER, we are drawn to the timelessness of vintage Rolex models — not just for what they represent, but for how they make you feel. The effortless sophistication of the Cellini, with its pure, minimalist form. The iconic balance of the Datejust, where utility meets enduring style. The quiet charm of the Oyster Perpetual, with its clean dial symmetry and everyday versatility. And of course, the rarely-seen elegance of vintage Rolex Genève pieces — snapshots of mid-century refinement, crafted with care and never made to shout.

These are vintage watches for those who move through the world with intention. No need for oversized cases or complicated bezels — just beautifully proportioned design, superior mechanics, and a legacy you can feel in every detail.

To wear a vintage Rolex is to appreciate subtlety over spectacle. It’s for the collector who sees beauty in a brushed silver dial, a fluted bezel catching the light, or the perfect serif on an old “Superlative Chronometer” script. Someone who understands that true luxury lives in restraint.

These pieces don’t follow trends — they define timelessness.

And when you wear a Rolex Cellini or an early Datejust, you're not just wearing a watch.

You’re wearing a piece of personal history — perfectly preserved, deeply considered, and ready to begin a new chapter on your wrist.
