Rolex Day-Date 18038 'Gold'

The icon. The Day-Date. – A timeless and classic timepiece. 

Launched in 1956 as a niche model and only produced in precious metals (yellow, white- and rose gold or platinum). The price of the Day-Date was way costlier than any other Rolex model, but that didn’t affected the desirability. It immediately became Rolex’ flagship model due to its popularity among a lot of prestigious people, for example presidents, which is also where its nickname ‘President’ comes from.

This particular example is from the newer 180xx series, which is defined by some newer features as; an upgraded movement, which allows the wearer to set the day apart from the time, also known as the quick-set function. It also features the well beloved sapphire crystal, which is robust and gives the dial a clean look.

These modern upgrades don't interfere with its vintage aesthetic, which is exactly why collectors love the 180xx series. 

This particular example is exactly what comes to mind when somebody mentions a Rolex Day-Date. There are many different variations to be found, but an example with a yellow gold champagne dial, a full 18k case and of course its iconic president bracelet is the most classic one. The most desirable one. The most iconic one.
