The Rolex Day-Date reference 118238 is a 36mm timepiece in Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Custom Champagne Diamond Bagguete dial, Fluted YG bezel, President bracelet, dated circa 2006. This piece is customized — aftermarket-modified (setting or dial added outside the manufacturer); not original factory condition. Every watch is inspected and authenticated by our specialists before it is offered, so you can buy with confidence.
Made exclusively in precious metal, the Day-Date never appeared in stainless steel, a point worth knowing before any purchase. Vintage references such as 1803 and 18238 draw patina-focused buyers, while current 128xxx and 228xxx pieces bring the Cal. 3255 movement and broader service access. We walk you through which generation matches your priorities, then authenticate the watch in-house before it changes hands. Read the full Day-Date buying guide ›
Buying a Rolex calls for a measured approach, since demand consistently exceeds supply and steel references like the Submariner, GMT-Master II, and Daytona trade above retail. Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, the Geneva house pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays. Our specialists examine the Oyster case, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens in house, so you can commit to a piece with genuine confidence. Browse all Rolex ›
