It has only ever been produced in precious metals, a rule that has cemented its position at the top of the hierarchy since 1956. This reference 18038 is a key part of that history, introducing the convenience of a single quick-set date function while retaining the classic proportions that defined the model for decades. It is the standard-bearer, executed in solid 18k yellow gold.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA More Detailed Dial Execution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is distinguished by its dial, which features both applied stick indices and a printed outer track of Roman numerals. This less-common configuration adds a layer of detail and formality that sets it apart from the more standard dial layouts. Paired with a grey leather strap, the watch takes on a different character. The contrast between the warm gold case and the cool tone of the strap makes it feel more versatile and less formal than one on a matching President bracelet.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Strong Daily Candidate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe watch is in very good overall condition. The solid gold case has been previously detailed but retains a strong profile with well-defined lugs. The champagne sunburst dial is clean and presents beautifully.
