About this watch
The tactile luxury of 36mm yellow gold settles with substantial presence on the wrist, while the champagne Roman dial catches light with honeyed warmth that only precious metal can deliver. This particular Rolex 118238 exemplifies the Day-Date's enduring appeal through its perfectly proportioned case paired with the signature fluted bezel that creates micro-prisms of reflected light. The President bracelet's three-piece links conform fluidly to the wrist, creating an unmistakable silhouette that has defined executive luxury since the collection's 1956 debut. In unworn condition, this timepiece represents the Day-Date in its most classic expression.
Key Features & Specifications

- 18k Yellow Gold Construction — Solid gold case and bracelet showcase Rolex's metallurgical expertise, with the 36mm case diameter providing ideal proportions for both formal and casual wear
- Fluted Bezel — The signature coin-edge bezel creates 40 precise ridges that catch and refract light, serving as both decorative element and tool grip for the original timing function
- President Bracelet — Three-piece semi-circular links with hidden Crownclasp system deliver supreme comfort while maintaining the collection's distinguished aesthetic heritage
- Day-Date Complication — Instantaneous day and date displays change precisely at midnight, with the day spelled out in full across 26 available languages
