The Rolex Day-Date 118138 is a refined and distinguished variation of the brand’s most prestigious model. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the 36mm Oyster case offers timeless proportions with polished lugs and the unmistakable Rolex presence. Unlike the more common President bracelet versions, this reference is fitted with a luxurious leather strap, making it both elegant and versatile for formal or everyday wear.

The dial is typically offered in striking finishes—champagne, white, green, or black lacquer—featuring the Day-Date’s hallmark day display at 12 o’clock and the Cyclops-enhanced date window at 3 o’clock. Applied gold hour markers and hands add an extra touch of refinement, complemented by the smooth or fluted bezel, depending on configuration.

Inside, the watch houses the Rolex Calibre 3155, a self-winding movement renowned for its reliability and precision. This calibre powers both the instantaneous date and day displays and carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring accuracy within −2/+2 seconds per day.

The watch is completed with a high-quality Rolex leather strap secured by a matching 18k yellow gold deployant clasp, blending comfort with prestige.
