Rolex Day-Date President 18958 Description
The Reference 18958 is a superlative and exceedingly rare model from the transitional 189xx “special edition” Day-Date series (c. late 1990s-early 2000s). The reference specifies a 36mm case in 18k yellow gold (8) with an ultimate factory gem-set configuration (5 code). This technical layout includes a bezel factory-set with baguette-cut diamonds and lugs set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Furthermore, it is fitted with the “Karatan” President bracelet, featuring center links that are also paved with brilliant-cut diamonds. The combination of a baguette-diamond bezel with a pavé-diamond bracelet on a single timepiece is a testament to Rolex’s highest gem-setting capabilities. Powered by the Caliber 3155, the 18958 is a definitive “grail” for many collectors, representing an apex of Rolex factory production.
