Up for auction is an iconic solid 18k yellow gold Rolex Day-Date "President" Ref. 18038 (Serial # 9419652, ca. 1986). This legendary timepiece is an absolute showstopper, featuring a robust 36mm Oyster case perfectly complemented by a stunning fluted 18k gold bezel. At its heart beats a precise single-quickset movement, driving the pristine champagne sunburst dial. You will love the clean aesthetic of the gold stick markers paired with an elegant outer Roman numeral track. This watch is fitted with its original 18k yellow gold President bracelet (Ref. 8385), finished with the sophisticated hidden folding Crownclasp-a true hallmark of Rolex craftsmanship. The inner clasp blade is fully detailed with Swiss gold stamps, including 18K/750, GENEVE, and SWISS MADE. This exceptional piece is in excellent pre-owned condition; the case lines remain razor-sharp with thick, prominent lugs and crisp fluting. The sapphire crystal and dial are remarkably clean, and the President bracelet retains excellent form with minimal stretch. This lot includes an official Rolex Service Centre International Guarantee Card (serviced July 21, 2018), the original burgundy leather Rolex presentation box with crown buckle motif, outer world-map sleeve, and the "Your Rolex Oyster" instruction booklet.
