Built around a solid 40mm round case crafted entirely in 18kt yellow gold, this Rolex Day-Date 218238 carries the full weight of the collection's legacy. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits above the aftermarket dial, while a screw-in crown and solid case back contribute to 100m / 330ft of water resistance. The yellow-tone finish runs consistently across the case and bracelet.
Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3255 automatic movement, displaying both the date at the 3 o'clock position and the day of the week — the dual complication that has long defined the Day-Date. The President bracelet in 18kt yellow gold closes with a concealed crown clasp, lending the wrist a clean, uninterrupted silhouette.
The aftermarket bezel and aftermarket dial distinguish this reference 218238 from standard configurations, offering a customized aesthetic within the classic Day-Date framework. Buyers should note that both the dial and bezel are aftermarket components, as described.
