The Iconic Day-Date Legacy

Since its introduction in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date has been the definitive symbol of success, worn by world leaders, industry titans, and cultural icons. The reference 18038, introduced in the late 1970s, marked a significant evolution in the model’s history, bringing technical advancements such as the Calibre 3055 movement with a quickset date function. It maintained the Day-Date’s signature luxurious aesthetic—crafted exclusively in precious metals—while offering enhanced practicality.

Why You’ll Love It

This 1980 Rolex Day-Date 18038 is a prime example of the model’s enduring appeal. Recently serviced by our watchmaker, it is in outstanding condition, ensuring smooth performance for years to come. The watch features a brand-new custom-made leather strap, perfectly complementing its solid 18ct yellow gold case. Completing the look is a gold Rolex buckle, maintaining the level of luxury expected from a timepiece of this calibre.

It also comes with an original Rolex Day-Date box, adding to its desirability as a collector’s piece. At £8,750, this is an excellent opportunity to own an iconic Rolex in superb condition.

Iconic Status

The Rolex Day-Date, often referred to as the “President” due to its association with influential figures, has been a mainstay on the wrists of global leaders and style icons alike. From hip-hop legends like Jay-Z and Nas to Hollywood greats such as Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood, the Day-Date 18038 has remained a watch of distinction. Whether in the boardroom or on the red carpet, it has always been a statement of power, taste, and timeless style.
