Lot description — Champagne Auctions

The incredible Presidential Day-Date Rolex has been the watch of choice of influential men throughout history; most notably we have American Presidents such as Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Reagan, Nixon and Roosevelt. Known for its opulent and impressive design, this Presidential Day-Date does not disappoint with its diamond set dial and solid 18K yellow gold construction. The perfect sapphire crystal reveals the mint simplistic yet dramatic champagne dial. The factory set diamond hour markers are immaculate as are the baton styled handset. The 36mm 18K yellow gold case is sharp and the stampings are still very much defined. Only sign of wear would be some slight tarnish that is visible around the Rolex stamped crown. The fluted bezel is in the same shape as the case and has no visible defects. The watch is powered by Rolex’s near indestructible automatic calibre 3055 movement. Interestingly this reference 18038 was the 1st in the president line to come equipped with the 3055 movement that had the addition of the quickset feature that allowed the wearer to set the date independently The instantly recognizable President bracelet features 3-piece semi-circular links, creating a bold look that you will never want to take off. It easy to see why the Rolex President has become the watch of choice by Rolex enthusiasts all over the world!
