Replica Rolex Day-Date II 218238 41mm Champagne Dial

The Day-Date II brought the presidential watch into larger territory. At 41mm, the 218238 wears noticeably bigger than the traditional 36mm Day-Date, offering a bolder presence that suited the era’s preference for larger cases. Full yellow gold from case to bracelet, a champagne dial with applied markers, and the dual calendar display at 12 and 3 o’clock make this reference unmistakably a Rolex flagship. The Day-Date II series has since been succeeded by the Day-Date 40, but the 218238 remains a sought-after reference.

Key Specifications

The 218238 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet

The champagne dial carries a rich golden warmth that harmonises with the yellow gold case and bracelet. Applied hour markers with luminescent fill sit beneath a sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnification over the date window at three. At 12 o’clock, the spelled-out day of the week is displayed in an arched window — the signature Day-Date complication that earned this model its “President” nickname.

The 41mm case wears substantially on the wrist, filling the space between the lugs with authority. The semi-circular President bracelet links are comfortable and drape smoothly, tapering toward the concealed Crownclasp. Explore all Day-Date references in the Day-Date collection.

• Japanese automatic — Miyota-based movement with reliable timekeeping, day-date complication, and accessible servicing worldwide. A dependable choice for confident daily wear.

Both movements power the day and date displays with quickset adjustment via the crown.
