Rolex 118239 Day Date President 18K White Gold Black Dial

The Rolex Day‑Date reference 118239 in 18K white gold with a black index dial is a refined expression of Rolex’s flagship President line, first introduced in 2000. Powered by the in‑house Calibre 3155 automatic movement, this model offers both day and date indications with double quickset functionality and COSC‑certified precision. The 36 mm case, measuring approximately 43 mm lug‑to‑lug and around 12 mm in thickness, presents a balanced and elegant profile that wears comfortably on a variety of wrists. Its solid white gold construction—including the fluted bezel and President bracelet with concealed folding Crownclasp—adds substantial presence and enduring value. With 100 m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and luminous white gold index markers against the deep black dial, the watch combines practicality with timeless sophistication. Collectors prize the 118239 for its transitional role in the Day‑Date lineage, marking the shift to fully polished lugs and heavier construction that enhanced its durability and luxury appeal. The black dial variant, while less common than silver or meteorite options, offers a striking and versatile aesthetic that resonates with discerning buyers seeking understated elegance and horological substance. Excellent Condition with Rolex CPO box, and digital CPO card.
