Crafted entirely in solid 18K yellow gold, this Day-Date variant is distinguished by a rare factory Mother of Pearl dial elegantly adorned with center diamonds and rare diamonds outline, offering collectors a sublime fusion of opulence and natural beauty. Nicknamed the “President,” both for its signature bracelet and a history intertwined with world leaders, the 18238 remains a symbol of status and precision. Powering this timepiece is the caliber 3155 automatic movement, lauded for its dual quickset function and chronometer certification.
