Rolex Day-Date 36mm - 18038 - Year 1978 - Box & Accessories - £6,995 Collection

Rolex Day-Date 36mm | Ref. 18038 | Box & Accessories

• £6995 ON COLLECTION OR DIRECT DELIVERY.

A true icon of prestige and craftsmanship, the Rolex Day-Date 18038 represents one of the most recognisable and respected watches ever produced by Rolex. Introduced in the late 1970s, this reference marked the transition into a more modern era of Day-Date production, while still retaining the classic proportions and charm collectors love.

This example, dating to 1978, is presented in great overall condition, with the 18k yellow gold case still showing strong lines and excellent presence on the wrist. The iconic champagne dial pairs perfectly with the yellow gold case, delivering that unmistakable “President” aesthetic—subtle yet undeniably luxurious. The day window at 12 o’clock and date at 3 o’clock remain as practical today as they were revolutionary when the Day-Date was first introduced.

Powering the watch is Rolex’s in-house automatic movement, known for its durability and precision. The Day-Date line has long been associated with influential figures, earning it the nickname “President,” and continues to be a symbol of success and timeless style.

The fluted bezel catches light beautifully, adding depth and character, while the 36mm case size ensures a versatile fit—equally at home as a daily wearer or a standout dress piece.
