Where the yellow gold Day-Date is the archetype, the white gold variant is the exception: rarer in production, cooler in tone, and considerably more uncommon on the secondary market. This 1991 example takes that rarity several steps further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is a sunburst silver with diamond hour markers, set with baguette diamonds at 6 and 9 o'clock — a factory configuration that places this example well beyond the standard Day-Date offering. What elevates it further still is the day and date wheel: printed in Chinese characters, with white text windows framing black characters in a configuration produced by Rolex in extremely limited numbers for specific markets. The Chinese character Day-Date is among the most sought-after dial variants in the entire Day-Date family — genuinely rare, immediately identifiable to those who know, and almost never encountered in this state of preservation. This is a watch that someone who understood exactly what they had kept in a safe. It shows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71816978202646,"sku":"ROL-1823-779","price":49500.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/3856\/5398\/files\/RolexDay-DateRef.18239_Chinese_1991_ROL-1823-779__0025_DSCF0325.jpg?v=1785823157","url":"https:\/\/wynnandthayne.com\/products\/rolex-day-date-ref-18239-chinese-1991-w-box-and-service-papers","provider":"Wynn \u0026 Thayne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
