The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18038 — 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Dial, available at Rex Watches NYC, is a true symbol of presidential heritage and elegant prestige. Introduced in the early 1980s, this generation of Day-Date models introduced modern upgrades such as a quick-set date function while retaining the timeless luxury that has defined the collection since its 1956 launch.
Crafted from solid 18K yellow gold, the 36 mm Oyster case and fluted bezel exude a warm, classic aesthetic that pairs seamlessly with the champagne sunburst dial. Applied luminous index markers and hands enhance legibility without distracting from its refined composition.
At its core beats the robust Rolex Calibre 3055 automatic movement — a chronometer-certified engine that powers the signature day and date windows with unwavering precision. The President bracelet, also in 18K yellow gold, features a concealed Crownclasp for a smooth, elegant fit on the wrist.
