Description

For sale is a superb example of a Gent’s 18K Yellow Gold Rolex Day Date President – in many ways, the absolute Gold standard of men’s timepieces.   I am the second owner of this timepiece and I have enjoyed wearing it immensely. The original owner lovingly cared for it and I have done the same. I have only worn it for business dress so the watch has not been subjected to abuse in any way. I have several watches and rotate the wearing of them so be assured this watch and original Rolex bracelet are in excellent original condition.  N ote that I have, for security/counterfeit reasons, purposely chosen to not show a picture of the full serial number of the watch but this one is serial number  L878XXX. Also,  this is a “double-quick set” President. 

 

The dial, crown and original hidden clasp President bracelet are all original and signed. The case is waterproof and is stamped both "18K" and "750".  The crown is a waterproof, screw down crown. The related accessories to be included are two extra original Rolex 18k links. The watch is currently sized for a normal 7.5 inch wrist (standard size – I am 6’2” and weigh 200 lbs and it fits comfortably without an extra link required). Also included is the original brown leather inner and cardboard outer box, day-date operating manual, Rolex manual, polishing cloth, credit card style holder, Rolex Leather Memo pad with note paper and Rolex cotton handkerchief.

📖 About This Reference

The Rolex Day-Date reference 18238, part of the Cellini collection, represents a significant evolution in the Day-Date lineage, distinguished by its introduction of the double quickset function. This enhancement allowed for independent and rapid adjustment of both the day and date displays, a notable improvement over earlier single quickset models. It maintains the classic Day-Date aesthetic while offering enhanced practicality for daily wearers and collectors. This reference features a 36mm Oyster case crafted from 18k yellow gold, housing the automatic Caliber 3155. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 48 hours and is protected by a sapphire crystal, contributing to its water resistance of 100 meters. The fluted bezel is a signature element, complementing the various dial options available for this model. For collectors, the 18238 is appealing for its blend of traditional Day-Date design with modern functionality. It sits as a transitional reference, bridging the gap between earlier iterations and more contemporary models, making it a desirable piece for those seeking a classic Rolex with improved usability. Variants include different dial colors and hour marker configurations.

Ok can't believe I'm thinking about this...
But am considering getting back to Rolex this year - but am thinking about the right starting model? I\'ve dabbled many years with stainless sports models but am considering going full gold or vintage. I\'m currently spending a lot of time with AP and Patek but there\'s something about Rolex that ta

Iam in Love with this dial & I cant find it :))
Lapis lazuli Roman numerals dial on a Rolex 18238. I had bought this dial in 1996 and later switched the watch with a PT version. Now only regrets as this dial gives me that sensational feeling.... Where to get this dial now ?
