When luxurious creations blend with the ease of use, the result is astounding. And nowhere it is more true than in Rolex Day-Date, where a luxe, elegant design is paired with a unique calendar functionality to make time and date-reading a breeze. The collection was released in 1956, and this particular reference 18238 is simply mesmerising.

With a lustrous 18k yellow gold case sized optimally at 36mm, we feel the watch has an understated design that is well-suited for anyone looking for a statement timepiece that is not overpowering. Imbued with a contemporary charm, this reference at its core has a classic Rolex sensibility to it facilitated by a put-together champagne dial. The legible dial features beautifully-cut diamond markers and three hands. The day aperture at noon adds both unique style and functionality, while the conventional date window at three o'clock set an elegant tone, which is further elevated by a fluted bezel and a signed crown. A signature President bracelet and the automatic movement make this Rolex Day-Date appealing and utilitarian at once.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
