Rolex President Day-Date 36mm Yellow Gold 2008 for Sale

The Rolex President Day-Date 36mm Yellow Gold 2008 is for sale as a one-off piece. The Day-Date, known as the President, is made only in precious metal and spells the day out in full across the dial.

The case measures 36mm in yellow gold. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist. It is factory or aftermarket gem-set; the dial and bezel stones are described in the listing photography.

A date display is set into the dial. The day of the week is spelled out on the dial. Production dates to 2008. Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.

Condition is stated as Pre-owned. It is accompanied by Rolex card and presentation non-Rolex box.

A closer look at this Rolex Day-Date 118238

Above all, we hold one Rolex Day-Date 118238 rather than a restockable line. Therefore the watch in the gallery is the watch that ships to you. For example, we photograph the caseback and the clasp, not only the dial. Meanwhile, you can weigh it against Rolex Sky-Dweller 42mm Yellow Gold 2026, or against Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm Yellow Gold Stainless Steel 2017. Similarly, the rest of our Rolex watches and the wider watch collection move every week.

Authentication and servicing

We authenticate every watch in house before listing it, so the grade above is ours rather than a consignor’s summary. However, condition language shifts from seller to seller, so we describe wear in plain words as well. Because a rested movement stiffens, wind it gently rather than forcing the crown. In addition, the warranty we give sets out the process.

Delivery, duty and the landed cost

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile our Instagram is where pieces appear first, and Facebook mirrors it. If this Rolex Day-Date 118238 is not the one, read what to check on a pre-owned watch next, then how platinum, gold and titanium wear, and our shipping policy covers the rest.
