This 36mm Rolex Day-Date President, reference 18038, is a classic representation of Rolex’s legacy in luxury timekeeping. Crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, this 1984 example features the iconic fluted bezel and a clean champagne dial with gold stick hour markers, offering a timeless and understated appearance. The watch is equipped with a sapphire crystal and the single quickset function, allowing for quick adjustment of the date at the 3 o'clock position. The "8" million serial number places its year of manufacture firmly in 1984.
Powered by Rolex’s automatic movement, this Day-Date delivers dependable performance and remains a standout model in the vintage Rolex lineup. The President bracelet, also in solid 18k gold, shows normal stretch consistent with its age but still wears securely and comfortably. The bracelet measures approximately 7 1/2 inches and can be resized to fit upon request.
The watch is in excellent condition overall, especially considering its age, and retains much of its original character and presence. It shows light signs of wear consistent with careful use, including minor surface marks on the case. Notably, there are some visible dings on the underside of six bracelet links, these do not affect the structural integrity or comfort of the bracelet. The case remains strong, with no signs of over-polishing, preserving the original lines and proportions that collectors value. While the original box and papers are not included, the watch will be presented in a generic green watch box for safekeeping and presentation.
Included is our lifetime warranty (see terms), and an appraisal is available upon request. This vintage Day-Date offers enduring elegance and value for collectors or anyone seeking a distinguished all-gold Rolex.
