About this watch

Powered by Rolex's robust caliber 3155 automatic movement, this yellow gold Day-Date 36 delivers both the day and date complications that define presidential timekeeping. The 118238 reference showcases the classic pairing of 18k yellow gold case construction with a pristine white index dial, creating the archetypal dress watch aesthetic that has graced executive wrists for decades. At 36mm, this proportionally perfect case size maintains the Day-Date's traditional dimensions while the fluted bezel adds the signature textural element that catches light with every gesture. This unworn example represents the Day-Date in its most essential form—yellow gold, white dial, and the iconic President bracelet that gave this collection its enduring nickname.
