The Day-Date is one of Rolex’s tentpole watches. It has served as a symbol of power and success since its inception. Originally released in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date soon became one of the most desirable luxury watches to own at the time. The reference you see here is the 18038, which was part of the next generation of Day-Dates released in 1978, at its launch, it replaced the famed ref. 1803 and updating the President towards a slightly more modern style.
At its core, the ref. 18038 is the quintessential Day-Date, complete with its classic namesake dial configuration, solid gold 36mm case and fluted bezel, and all together presenting one of the most elegant and wearable watches around. This updated version did, however, feature a new watertight construction, now designed to be water resistant up to 100 meters, in addition to a sapphire crystal to better scratch resistance. On the dial, a wide variety of configurations were offered with this reference, but compared to its predecessors, the edge of the dial was no longer sloped downwards in a pie pan style; instead, they were flat.
