Rolex Day-Date 36 Phil Nevin Padres Signed Dial Day-Date “President” 18238 Box

What makes this watch especially rare is its custom dial, stamped with the Padres logo, a striking personalization that blends luxury with baseball history. The champagne dial—a classic hallmark of the Day-Date—offers an elegant contrast to the bold team emblem. Inside, the watch houses the Caliber 3155 movement, ensuring precision timekeeping with day and date functionality.

Adding to its significance, the caseback is engraved with Phil Nevin’s name, marking it as a likely commemorative gift celebrating his arrival in San Diego. Rolex watches customized for athletes and executives are seldom seen on the open market, making this a one-of-a-kind timepiece for both Rolex collectors and Padres fans alike.

Phil Nevin: Power Hitter Turned Manager
Best known for his time as a power-hitting third baseman and first baseman, Phil Nevin has remained deeply involved in baseball as a coach and manager. Drafted first overall in the 1992 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros, he initially struggled to find his footing in the majors before breaking out with the San Diego Padres, where he enjoyed the best years of his career.

Nevin joined the Padres in 1999 and quickly became a key contributor, establishing himself as one of the team’s top offensive players. His peak came in 2001, when he belted 41 home runs, drove in 126 RBIs, and hit .306, earning his lone All-Star selection. A consistent slugger through the early 2000s, he wrapped up his Padres tenure with 156 home runs, earning a reputation as a fierce competitor.

After retiring, Nevin transitioned into coaching, eventually managing the Los Angeles Angels from 2022 to 2023.
