The Day-Date is one of Rolex’s tentpole watches. It has served as a symbol of power and success since its inception. Originally released in 1956, the Day-Date soon became one of the most desirable luxury watches to own at the time. The reference you see here is the 118238, which was part of the next generation of Day-Dates released in 2000, at its launch replacing the ref. 18238 and representing the first in-production President design of the 21st century.
While in many ways similar to Day-Date’s of the past, the 118238 notably introduced to the classic collection a slightly more robust wear on the wrist, this in part resulting from the silhouette’s broader lug shape. While wearing a bit larger and even sportier, the gold reference is at its core a luxurious watch, with Rolex introducing the first use of full polishing on its lugs as compared to previously used brushed finishing – of course in addition to an iconic fluted bezel – to make that point.
Outside of its updated case shape and finishing, the dial options of the 118238 continue on the established and popular efforts of the reference that preceded it, instituting some smaller updates in configurations and luminous materials in-line with the rest of the brand during the era. Inside, the caliber 3155 provided power for the quintessential 36mm Day-Date look, complete with its useful double quick-set function, allowing both the date and day display to be quickly adjusted for particularly seamless wear.
