Rolex Day-Date 118238 History:
Making its debut in 2000, the reference 118238 replaced the Day-Date reference 18238 and was in production until 2019. Rolex's reference 118238 stands out as a larger and more substantial timepiece compared to its older Day-Date counterparts, mainly due to its broader lugs with a polished finish that catches the eye. This watch also carries a bit more weight on the wrist, courtesy of its President bracelet, featuring entirely solid links, and therefore, a more generous amount of gold in its construction.
