A distinguished example of the iconic Rolex Day-Date, the present reference 118238 combines the timeless elegance of 18K yellow gold with the technical sophistication of Rolex’s modern generation. Its striking ferrite dial, with its naturally irregular dark pattern, provides a dramatic contrast to the applied yellow-gold Roman numerals and hands, creating a particularly refined and distinctive appearance. The watch is fitted with the characteristic President-style Super Oyster bracelet in 18K yellow gold, notable for its elegant construction without the traditional concealed “box” clasp, giving the bracelet a more contemporary and streamlined appearance. Introduced in the early 2000s, reference 118238 is equipped with the automatic calibre 3155, a robust and precise movement featuring Rolex’s convenient instantaneous day and date change, operated through the crown. The watch further benefits from a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water resistance to 100 metres, combining everyday practicality with the prestige of Rolex’s flagship calendar wristwatch. Presented with its original Rolex guarantee and accessories, this Day-Date represents a particularly attractive combination of precious-metal construction, sophisticated mechanics and an unusual ferrite dial, embodying the enduring appeal of Rolex’s most celebrated dress watch.
