1999 Rolex Day-Date President 18238 18 Karat Yellow Gold and Ruby Diamond String Dial

c.1999

The 1999 Rolex Day-Date President is the crown jewel of the Rolex catalog. Debuting in 1956, the Day-Date is the first wristwatch to spell out all seven days of the week, a feat attributed to the extra-wide aperture at 12 o'clock on the dial.

With a history as captivating as its design, the Day-Date earned its moniker as the “President” watch, gracing the wrists of luminaries like Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and Bill Clinton. The rumored gifting of a Day-Date by Marilyn Monroe to John F. Kennedy in 1962 only adds a dash of allure to its storied legacy.

What sets this 18k yellow gold Rolex apart is its distinctive dial adorned with a string of rubies and diamonds, a rare feature that adds a touch of opulence to the iconic President collection. Housed in its original box and a testament to Rolex's dedication to luxury, precision, and timeless design, this model is a true collector's gem.
