The Rolex 118238 Day-Date Watch

Production Years:

The Rolex Day-Date 118238 was introduced in the year 2000. It was eventually discontinued in 2009.

Defining Features:

Known as the “President,” the Rolex Day-Date 118238 is a prestigious timepiece with precious materials. If you’re looking for a beautiful, impeccably crafted watch from Rolex, the Day-Date 118238 is a great choice. This refined look is well-loved in the Rolex community, as it adds just a touch of casual style to the traditional dress watch style. This well-balanced watch looks incredible on the wrist, and the 36mm size is a great fit.

The Rolex 118238 Day-Date is easily recognizable as a dress watch thanks to the yellow gold and the President bracelet. This makes it a favourite among athletes, musicians, actors, and other celebrities. The 3155 movement provides power and precision while the double quick-set function makes it easy to adjust the day and date display. The Twinlock case and 100 metres of water resistance help to keep your investment safe from water and dust. The beautiful design and the robust heft are sure to look and feel great on the wrist.

About Rolex Model Number 118238

The Rolex 118238 Day-Date took the winning President Day-Date formula and brought it into the modern era. This model would introduce larger lugs, giving the watch a sportier and more durable appearance. Make no mistake though, this is still a dress watch through and through. The slight aesthetic adjustments would carry through to future iterations of the Day-Date. 

Though this Day-Date would eventually be discontinued to make way for a version with more modern movements, it certainly made its mark in Rolex’s history. This watch holds its value very well and is a great buy.
