about the watch

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 pink 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, bringing a practical advantage without compromising the watch's vintage aesthetic.

With its heavy, warm presence on the wrist, this watch is more than an apparent block of yellow gold. 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 piece is entirely original, with its immaculate dial that has developed a charming patina. The president bracelet, case and dial are all in fantastic condition, which is rare on a gold watch.

The case has a lot of material and the edges are still very sharp. 

The bracelet is the original President, reference 8385, and has no stretching whatsoever, in addition to being in superb condition.

The watch is sold alone, without box or papers. We provide a Veritas travelling pouch.

The movement is the original caliber 3155, which runs perfectly well.
