Rolex Day-Date 36mm - Ref. 18238

For sale is a Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 in solid 18k yellow gold from 1990 with a classic champagne diamond dial and Rolex box.

The Day-Date:
The Rolex Day-Date, often referred to as the "Rolex President", is one of the most iconic and prestigious timepieces in the world. Introduced in 1956, it holds a prominent place in Rolex’s lineup due to its timeless design, luxurious materials, and association with numerous U.S. presidents and influential figures worldwide.

The Ref. 18238 is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold and features a 36mm case, which was the standard size for Day-Date models of this era—perfectly balanced for both formal and everyday wear.

The Bracelet:
The watch is fitted with the iconic President bracelet, a defining feature of the Day-Date, known for its elegant semicircular links. The bracelet on this piece does show some stretch, which is typical for watches of this age and reflects its honest, vintage character.

The Dial:
This example showcases a classic champagne dial, accented with factory-set diamond hour markers—an enduring design that epitomizes Rolex elegance.

There are some small, age-related marks on the dial, which are visible under close inspection but do not detract from the overall presentation or legibility of the watch. The diamonds remain brilliant and add a refined touch of luxury to the already rich champagne tone.

The Movement:
Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3155 automatic movement—a robust and reliable in-house movement featuring the double quickset function, allowing for independent adjustment of both the day and date. This caliber is COSC-certified and known for its precision and durability.
