The Rolex Day-Date reference 218238 is a 41mm timepiece in Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Custom Champagne Diamond Roman dial, Fluted YG bezel, Custom President Iced-out bracelet, dated circa 2008. 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.
Dial originality carries enormous weight on this reference. Untouched stone, lacquer and factory gem dials are the most prized, and they separate a strong example from an ordinary one. Bracelet condition matters too, with end-links, clasp and stretch all shaping the final price. We inspect each of these points in-house, then explain exactly what we found so you buy with full information. Read the full Day-Date buying guide ›
Today Rolex dominates the prestige sports-watch market and functions as much as an asset class as a timepiece. The brand, founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays from its Geneva manufacture. Our authentication covers the Oyster case, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens. Since steel references trade above retail and supply stays tight, expert guidance helps you buy the right piece.
