Rolex 118238 Day Date President 18K Yellow Gold White Dial

The Rolex 118238 Day Date President 18K Yellow Gold White Dial is a definitive statement piece, representing the pinnacle of horological prestige since its debut in the early 2000s. This reference is crafted entirely from luxurious 18-karat yellow gold, a testament to Rolex's uncompromising commitment to quality. Its signature 36mm Oyster case, paired with the iconic President bracelet, has long symbolized success and distinction among collectors and leaders alike. The crisp white dial provides a timeless canvas for the hallmark day and date displays—Rolex innovations introduced in 1956 that fundamentally altered the landscape of calendar wristwatches. Housing the automatic Caliber 3155, the 118238 offers remarkable reliability, with the convenience of double quickset adjustment for both day and date. Collectors appreciate the robust yet elegant proportions (36mm diameter by 12mm thick with a lug-to-lug span of 44mm), making this watch versatile for modern and traditional tastes. The 100-meter depth rating exemplifies everyday practicality, while the solid gold construction ensures a commanding presence on the wrist. Equally important, the enduring appeal of the President nickname is tied to its historic associations with heads of state and tastemakers worldwide. This model remains one of the most prestigious offerings in Rolex's lineup, widely recognized and desired across generations. The 118238 is a perennial choice for collectors seeking status, technical accomplishment, and lasting value in precious metal Rolex. Excellent condition with Rolex box and papers dated 2004. This piece was just fully serviced by Rolex in Q2/2026.
