This 36mm Rolex Day-Date, reference 18038, is a distinguished and highly collectible example of the iconic President model, crafted entirely from solid 18k yellow gold. It features a classic champagne tapestry dial with vertical texture lines, giving it a unique and elegant visual depth. The dial is fitted with gold hands and index hour markers, along with the full day displayed at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock, both magnified by the Cyclops lens set into the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Framed by an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, this piece represents timeless Rolex design. The solid 18k President bracelet is fitted with a hidden Crownclasp and measures approximately 7 1/4" in length. We can resize it upon request to ensure a perfect fit. There is light, even stretch in the bracelet, consistent with the age of the watch.
This model features a sapphire crystal and quickset date function and is powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 3055 automatic movement. With an “8” million serial number, this example was manufactured in 1985 and carries all the design cues collectors value in vintage Day-Date models from this era.
The watch is in excellent overall condition with only light signs of wear and will be delivered in a generic green Rolex-style presentation box. It comes with our lifetime warranty (see terms), and a full professional appraisal is available upon request, including high-resolution photos, model and serial documentation, and valuation for insurance or resale purposes.
A hallmark of prestige and refinement, this Rolex Day-Date 18038 is a standout vintage piece, perfect for those who appreciate the enduring style and status of the solid gold President.
