Offered here is a vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date President automatic wristwatch, reference 18038, dating to 1987. Crafted in solid 18K yellow gold, this classic 36mm Day-Date features a fluted bezel, champagne tapestry dial, and Rolex President bracelet. It comes presented in a Rolex presentation box.
The reference 18038 belongs to the generation of Day-Date watches introduced in the late 1970s, bringing several important updates to the model, including a sapphire crystal and the Rolex caliber 3055 with quick-set date functionality.
This is a self-winding watch, powered by the Rolex caliber 3055 automatic movement with 27 jewels. It features central sweep seconds, day and date displays, hacking seconds, and a quick-set date function. The caliber 3055 is a single-quickset movement, allowing the date to be adjusted independently.
The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an approximate 42–48 hour power reserve. It is a certified Swiss chronometer (COSC), adjusted for accuracy in five positions and temperature.
The champagne tapestry dial features a distinctive vertically textured finish with applied gold-tone baton hour markers and matching hands. The full day display is positioned at 12 o’clock, while the date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens. Luminous accents and an outer minute track complete the dial.
Housed in a 36mm solid 18K yellow gold Oyster case with a fixed fluted 18K yellow gold bezel, screw-down crown, screw-down case back, and sapphire crystal with Cyclops date magnifier. It is fitted with a Rolex 18K yellow gold President bracelet.

If you’re unsure whether your offer will be accepted, please feel free to message us beforehand — we’re always happy to discuss respectful offers. We kindly ask that you only submit an offer if you are fully committed to purchasing the item.

Vintage watches often run smaller than today’s standards. Men’s wristwatches typically measure between 29–36mm (excluding the crown), while women’s models—especially from the early 1900s to the 1970s—can be considerably smaller. We encourage you to review the measurements provided and reach out with any sizing questions.
Our collection features timepieces that are 20 to 100 years old. Naturally, they may show honest signs of age such as light scratches, patina, or worn straps—features that often add to their unique character and charm. Unless noted as recently serviced, vintage watches may eventually require routine maintenance to keep accurate time. If you’re looking for quartz-level precision, a modern watch may be a better fit.
We offer a mix of brand new and pre-owned watches. Pre-owned pieces might have some cosmetic wear, which we always describe clearly. Take a close look at the photos and don’t hesitate to message us if you have any questions before buying.
We do not use Photoshop to hide imperfections—only to clean up the background. What you see is what you’ll get. We take great care to present our watches honestly and transparently, and we’re proud to stand behind every piece we sell.
We ship worldwide with care and promptness. Domestic orders typically ship within 2–4 business days after payment clears; international shipping times vary by destination. Tracking information will be provided once your package ships.
Returns or exchanges must be arranged in advance, and we must follow our return policy. If you have any questions about shipping, payment, or our terms, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help.
