Reasons to Bid

This Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18038 in 18k yellow gold stands out for its tapestry dial, a dial type defined by vertical textured lines that give the watch an immediately recognizable character. The reference 18038 marked an important evolution in the Day-Date family by introducing the quick-set date function, offering greater convenience compared with earlier versions. Its 36mm yellow-gold case and matching President bracelet present the classic Day-Date profile and the solid-gold construction for which the model is known. The watch is powered by Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3055, which provides both day and date indications, with only the date benefiting from the quick-set mechanism, an advancement over the previous generation of movements used in the 180XX Day-Date series.
