The Rolex Day Date, also known as the "Rolex President", is a legendary and highly prestigious model in Rolex's rich history. Unlike the so-called "sports" models, the Rolex Day Date is a pure luxury product. Always produced in white, yellow or rose gold, it is perfectly suited to everyday use, thanks in particular to its day and date functions, which are all too often neglected. The 18238 saw the introduction of the quickset for the day in addition to the date, providing a practical advantage without compromising the watch's vintage aesthetic. 
A description of the Day Date would be incomplete without mentioning the feature that sets it apart from the rest: the iconic President bracelet. The fact that a model is named after its bracelet speaks for itself. As is often the case with neo-vintage Rolexes, the 18238 is the perfect compromise between modern technology and the aesthetic charm of vintage watches. 
This particular timepiece is entirely original, with no service parts, including the watch's rare Onyx dial. The latter is immaculate and fascinating, thanks in particular to the onyx's unrivaled depth of black, as well as the gold lettering, which blend it perfectly on the dial. In addition to its high collector's value, this configuration is one of the most aesthetically pleasing Day Dates, thanks in particular to the contrast between the yellow gold and the Onyx dial. 
What's more, this piece has been preserved in super cosmetic condition. Both the bracelet and case are in excellent condition. The watch was serviced in 2022 at Rolex and is under warranty until 2024, in addition to our one-year warranty. No parts were changed during the service. The icing on the cake is that the watch comes with its original box and papers, attesting to its sale in 1991 in Palma de Mallorca.
