Rolex Day-Date

Double Quickset Day-Dates were once a thing of fantasy. Early Day-Date models offered no Quickset functionality, meaning that both the Day and Date functions had to be manually set - with a fair amount of winding, mind you - by the user in order to display the correct information on the calendar complications. by the late 1970s, Rolex had improved the system and began offering Single-Quickset versions in the 'five digit' References based on the 18038. These versions allowed easier setting of the Date function, but you still had to crank through all seven days in order to set the Day. It wasn't until the introduction of the 182XX in the late 1980s that things got infinitely easier. This example, a P-serial Reference 118235, dates to circa 2000 and is finished in Rolex's proprietary 18K 'Everose' gold with a glossy black dial with applied Arabic indices, a fluted Everose bezel, and a matching President bracelet with signed hidden deployant clasp. Furthermore, this piece remains in excellent condition and is accompanied by its full kit! If you are looking for a not commonly seen, contemporary timepiece that packs a big punch, this might just be the perfect choice!
