The Rolex Reference 118205 Day-Date stands as a refined expression of the brand’s legacy in luxury watchmaking. Introduced as part of the broader Day-Date line, often referred to as the 'President', due to it being the watch of choice for various Statesmen over the years, the Reference 118205 is a standout model, blending classical design elements with contemporary sophistication.
The Reference 118205 is distinguished by its smooth bezel, which sets it apart from the more common fluted bezel options in the Day-Date line. Its case measures 36 mm in diameter, a classic and timeless size that suits a wide range of wrists. The matching Everose gold Oyster bracelet enhances both comfort and prestige, reinforcing the watch’s status as a symbol of success and refined taste. The watch is powered by the automatic caliber 3155, boasting a 48-hour power reserve and frequency of 28800 vph.
Though discontinued in favor of newer models, the 118205 remains a sought-after timepiece among collectors and enthusiasts. Its blend of understated luxury, precision, and enduring design makes it a standout within the Day-Date family, and a watch befitting a President.
