Watch Market Comparison
A Rolex Day-Date, model 18238, is one of the most prestigious and recognisable watches in the Rolex collection, often referred to as the “President’s Watch.” This 1997 example is crafted entirely from 18ct yellow gold, featuring a 36mm Oyster case, fluted bezel, and matching champagne dial. The dial is styled with applied baton hour markers, the iconic day display at 12 o'clock, and the date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens. Completing the design is the solid 18ct yellow gold President bracelet, known for its comfort and unmistakable elegance.
At its core, the watch houses the Rolex calibre 3155, an automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve. This in-house calibre is equipped with a double quickset function, allowing both the day and date to be adjusted independently — a practical advancement that has made the 18238 one of the most desirable Day-Date references. As a certified chronometer, it guarantees Rolex’s exacting standards of precision and reliability.
Presented in good condition, this piece is boxed, certified, and accompanied by a 12-month WLC warranty. The Day-Date 18238 remains a timeless symbol of prestige and style, making it not only a statement piece but also a highly secure investment in Rolex's heritage.
