Earning the 'President' nickname from its popularity on the wrist of United States president Lyndon B. Johnson, the Rolex Day-Date has had a strong presence in the White House since the 1960s. Offered in yellow gold, this Reference 118238 features the prominent Rolex caliber 3155. With chronometer-grade accuracy and complications displaying both the day of the week and the date in windows on the dial, this model is not only sought after for its elegance and heritage, but also its practical use day to day.
