Rolex Day-Date President 118238

The Reference 118238 is the archetypal configuration of the modern 36mm Day-Date, produced c. 2000-2019. Its technical specification is a case made of 18k yellow gold (8) with the classic Rolex fluted bezel (3). As part of the 118xxx series, it features significant engineering enhancements over the previous 18238 model, including a more massive case with fully polished lugs and a re-engineered President bracelet with solid 18k gold links for improved weight and longevity. It is powered by the robust Caliber 3155 automatic movement, which features a highly practical double quickset complication for the day and date displays. This reference is the benchmark solid gold model against which others are measured.
