The gold Rolex Day-Date earned its nickname "The President's Watch" after appearing on the wrist of Lyndon B. Johnson. Over the next several decades, numerous Presidents would don the iconic gold dress watch on their wrists, forever sealing the Day-Date's reputation for luxury, power, and class. If you're considering investing in the gold Day-Date, consider the preowned Rolex 18038 for sale here today. This edition of the line boasts iconic style without commanding the top-tier price that newer-model solid gold Rolex watches are currently selling for.

Excellent condition!
I ordered this product late on a Thursday evening and it was delivered before noon on Saturday morning. The watch was in better condition than I anticipated and all parts were period correct. The crystal was a replacement crystal and hands were also replaced somewhere along the way as they were the only parts that had lume. the tritium on the hour indices has long since expired so for the hands to shine brightly, they were likely replaced - I'm good with this as the watch is much more practical as a result. If the watch wasn't clearly from the mid 80s based on a different case design (brushed lug hoods versus current day polished), I would think this was a relatively recent production piece. The bracelet has almost no sag and the clasp buckles tightly. Very happy with this purchase and experience
great condition as noted on website very happy
