Rolex Day-Date President 118235

The Reference 118235 (c. 2000-2019) is the 36mm Day-Date configured with a fluted bezel (3) in 18k Everose gold (5). This reference is historically significant as it introduced Rolex’s proprietary, fade-resistant pink gold alloy to the Day-Date line. It is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3155, a COSC-certified chronometer featuring a double quickset mechanism for independent, rapid adjustment of the day and date complications. The 118xxx series is defined by substantial technical upgrades over its predecessor, including a heavier case with fully polished lugs and a solid-link President bracelet (Ref. 83205), which provides superior durability and wrist feel. The combination of the advanced Cal. 3155 and the novel Everose alloy makes this a landmark reference in the Day-Date’s evolution.
