Description: Rolex Day-Date 18038
Pre-owned Rolex Day-Date ref 18038 (1979) is one of the most iconic gold Rolex watches. It was made famous in 1956 by being the first mechanical wristwatch to display the day spelled out in full (never abbreviated) alongside the date. Furthermore, Rolex has only ever produced the watch in precious metal, making it an ultra-exclusive collection sought-after by some of the most influential individuals. As a result, the Rolex Presidential has become the ultimate symbol of power, prestige, and success. Ref. 18038 is notable because it features the caliber 3055 self-winding movement with a Quickset date and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This example pairs the yellow gold finish with a classy white dial – a design set many collectors are after.
