Rolex Day-Date President 118208

The Reference 118208, produced c. 2000-2019, designates the 36mm Day-Date from the 118xxx generation in solid 18k yellow gold (8) with a smooth, domed bezel (0). This reference is the direct successor to the 18208, incorporating the significant technical upgrades of its series. These include the heavier case with fully polished lugs and the solid-link President bracelet (Ref. 83208) with a concealed Crownclasp, which provides enhanced durability. It is powered by the Caliber 3155, a 31-jewel COSC-certified chronometer with a double quickset function. The smooth bezel offers a modern and clean aesthetic, making the 118208 the primary understated solid gold option in the Day-Date lineup of its era.
