When luxurious creations blend with the ease of use, the results are astounding. And this notion is best manifested 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 218235 is a now-discontinued version of line called the Day-Date II.

Rolex released the Day-Date II series in 2008 as a bigger model of a watch that had characteristically been 36mm for the majority of its life. It was a substantial 41mm timepiece that looked a bit more statement for every day but was perfect in elevating looks for after-dark spins. In 2015, however, the house replaced this gorgeous timepiece with the Day-Date 40mm we know today.

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.
