For sale is a Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 from 1996, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and featuring a classic champagne dial, fluted bezel, and iconic President bracelet.

The watch is presented in good overall condition and is offered with its original Rolex box, a 2017 service receipt from Goldsmiths - an official Rolex retailer - along with a Goldsmiths insurance valuation valuing the watch at £23,050.

The Day-Date
The Rolex Day-Date is one of the brand’s most recognisable and prestigious models, known for its full day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock beneath the Cyclops lens. The Ref. 18238 was introduced as the successor to the 18038 and brought with it the practical double quickset function, allowing the day and date to be adjusted independently.

Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and paired with the signature fluted bezel, the 18238 offers the classic Day-Date look with improved everyday usability.

Dial
The watch features a timeless champagne dial with applied gold baton hour markers, gold hands, and the Rolex coronet at 12 o’clock. The warm tone of the dial pairs beautifully with the 18k yellow gold case and bracelet, giving the watch a refined and classic appearance.

President Bracelet
The watch is fitted with its original 18k yellow gold President bracelet, distinguished by its semi-circular three-piece links and concealed Crownclasp. The bracelet remains in good condition and completes the watch perfectly, giving it the unmistakable presence expected from a vintage Day-Date.

Movement
The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3155, an automatic chronometer-certified movement featuring double quickset functionality for both the day and date. Reliable, robust, and practical, the 3155 is one of the key upgrades that makes the 18238 such a desirable Day-Date reference
