The Rolex Day Date 39 is not a standard production model but a celebrated, ultra-exclusive anomaly known as the Masterpiece or Special Edition series (Ref. 18946). This unique Day Date 39mm size was produced in limited quantities primarily in the early 2000s, setting it apart from the core 36mm and 40mm collections. At Diamond Source NYC, we specialize in these rare finds. We offer fully authentic preowned and unworn watches for sale in NYC, complete with original Rolex box and papers when available, ensuring maximum provenance for this exceptional timepiece.
The Exclusive Design of the Day-Date 39mm
The Rolex Day-Date 39 series is defined by its extravagant jewelry features. These models were exclusively made in platinum or gold and often featured lavish factory diamond settings on the bezel and dial. Rather than the standard President bracelet, the 39mm Masterpiece is typically paired with the Pearlmaster bracelet—a sophisticated, rounded five-piece link design—further distinguishing it as a true collector's piece. The presence of the Day-Date complication in a rare 39mm case size makes the Day Date 39 a powerful, elegant statement for those who appreciate horological history.
Technical Excellence and Market Value
Despite its limited production, the Rolex Day Date 39 is a technical marvel, typically powered by the reliable Calibre 3155 movement (prior to the current 3255). Due to the rarity, precious materials, and low production numbers, the Rolex Day Date 39 price remains extremely high in the secondary market. Models like the Platinum Day Date 39 with an ice-blue or Tahitian Mother-of-Pearl dial are particularly coveted by global collectors.
