The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is commonly referred to as the President’s watch by collectors for frequently being publicized on the wrist of many Heads of State and “illustrious people'' from the 20th and 21st centuries. Like many models from Rolex’s collection, the Day-Date also shares a very long history. The first Day-Date model was launced in 1956 where it was the first automatic watch to feature both the day and date on the dial, and through its continuous cycle of upgrades, the Day-Date soon became a watch that not only featured many materials but the calendar is also now available in 26 languages.
The present Day-Date reference 118238 with a 6 digit reference and a double quick-set for date and day is a watch of great convenience for the user. Released in the millennium as the last version of the Day-Date prior to the Day-Date II, the present watch is embellished with a pavé-set diamond dial and enhanced by applied roman numerals, and further maintained in extraordinary condition with no signs of polishing.
