Rolex Day-Date 36

Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 – 18k Yellow Gold | Original Papers | Excellent Condition

Offered for sale is a distinguished Rolex Day-Date, reference 18238, crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold. This reference is one of the most emblematic configurations of the Day-Date line, featuring the classic President bracelet and the iconic day display at 12 o’clock paired with the date aperture at 3 o’clock, complete with Cyclops magnification.

This example is accompanied by its original Rolex papers and the original outer box. Please note that the wooden inner presentation box is missing. The presence of the original papers adds significant value and collectability to this piece.

The watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3155, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its robustness and precision. It features a double quickset function, allowing independent adjustment of both the day and date displays. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with a balance bridge for enhanced stability and shock resistance.

The watch has been tested on a timegrapher and is running within excellent parameters, demonstrating strong amplitude and accurate timekeeping. It winds smoothly, sets correctly, and all functions operate as they should.

Condition-wise, the watch is in excellent overall shape. The case retains strong lines, and the bracelet remains tight with minimal stretch, especially notable for a solid gold President bracelet of this era. The dial and hands are clean and well-preserved, with no visible defects. The sapphire crystal is clear and free of scratches that would affect visibility.

The President bracelet includes three additional links, ensuring it can comfortably accommodate a larger wrist size. The concealed Crownclasp functions properly and closes securely.
