Rolex's iconic dress watch first debuted in the 1950's. It didn't take long for the exquisite design of the Day-Date to catch the eye of powerful men all over the world, including numerous American Presidents. John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton are just a few of the Presidents who have been known to don a Day-Date on their wrist. With a list of past owners that is this impressive, it comes as no surprise that the Day-Date would later become known as the "President's Watch". The reference 18038 that is listed for sale here today boasts a luxurious and highly wearable design with a yellow gold 36mm waterproof Oyster case, a three-link President bracelet fitted with a concealed Crownclasp, a Quickset function within the perpetual movement, and a day and date display on the dial.

Vintage Rolex day date Looked better in person than photos. Received everything with the watch (box, papers, etc.) as advertised.

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
