Rolex DayDate 18238 Year 1990 Box & Accessories

The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18238 (1990) is the embodiment of prestige — a watch that has long symbolised success, influence, and timeless refinement. Crafted entirely in 18ct yellow gold by Rolex, the Day-Date stands alone as one of the most distinguished dress watches ever created.

Introduced as the successor to the original Day-Date, the 18238 features the upgraded double quickset movement, allowing both the day and date to be adjusted independently — a practical advancement wrapped in unmistakable elegance.

The 36mm case presents classic proportions, perfectly balanced by the fluted bezel that catches the light with effortless brilliance. The 1990 production year places this piece in a highly desirable era — retaining vintage character while benefiting from modernised movement technology and sapphire crystal durability.

The Day-Date has graced the wrists of world leaders, visionaries, and cultural icons — earning its reputation as the ultimate statement of achievement. The Ref. 18238 remains one of the purest expressions of that legacy.

Power. Heritage. Permanence.

This example is presented in great overall condition, showing no major scratches or marks. The case remains sharp with strong edges and has not been over-polished, retaining excellent definition throughout. The fluted 18k yellow gold bezel is crisp, and the champagne dial is clean and elegant, with day and date functioning exactly as they should.

The watch is currently fitted with an aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket buckle.

Please note: the strap and buckle are not original Rolex parts. This watch does not come with a Rolex President bracelet.
