Here is a great looking 18ct diamond dial double quickset Rolex Day Date President 18238 that is in superb condition and will always get the attention that it rightly deserves.
Since its launch in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date "President" has become synonymous with success and has a look to it that looks so elegant at the dinner table and so powerful in the boardroom.
This particular model is known as the double quick set and has the distinct advantage over its predecessor in that changing both the day and the date is incredibly easy. Whereas the 18038 has the quickset function for the date only and changing the day is done by turning the hands forward 24 hours, for this model both the day and the date can easily be changed by turning the crown forward or backwards respectively.
Measuring 36mm across plus the Rolex screw down crown, this model does of course have the fabulous diamond dial with both baguette and round brilliant cut diamonds.
Inside is the 31 jewelled Rolex automatic calibre 3135 that has been completely serviced, runs perfect and comes with our twelve month warranty. Not only is the movement is great condition, but so is the band with no evidence of flex showing how little wear this watch has had.
The ultimate Rolex to have on your wrist once you have reached that pinnacle in life.
