SUMMARY

The Rolex Day-Date was first launched in 1956 and was the world's first chronometer wristwatch that could display the day and date through windows in its dial. Since then, it's become synonymous with luxury as a flagship model in Rolex's catalogue. This reference 18038, which dates to 1986, measures a classically sized 36mm and is finished in solid yellow gold. Housed underneath the screw-down case back is a chronometer-certified in-house movement delivering a 48-hour power reserve. Attached to the case is a three-link President bracelet, which is available almost exclusively on the Day-Date.
