The reference 18238 represents a critical step in its evolution, introducing the highly practical double quickset movement. This innovation allowed the owner to independently set both the day and date, a major upgrade that brought modern convenience to the classic 36mm design. It combines the traditional proportions and solid gold presence of its predecessors with a movement that is far more user-friendly for daily wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Deep Blue Dial In A Classic Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis 1990 example pairs the classic yellow gold Day-Date with a rich, striking blue dial. The combination moves the watch away from the more common champagne and silver variants into something more distinct and personal. The 18238 was produced from 1988 until around 2000, and this piece from the early part of that run captures the perfect balance of vintage character and modern-era engineering. It is the last generation of Day-Date to feature the classic brushed finish on the lugs, a detail preferred by many collectors over the polished cases that came later.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe President In Very Good Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in Very Good condition. The 18k yellow gold case and fluted bezel are sharp, showing honest wear consistent with a watch of its age. The deep blue dial is clean and presents beautifully against the gold case. Its iconic President bracelet is in solid shape, with a level of stretch that is natural for a gold bracelet from this period. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Enduring Symbol Of Success\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThere is no watch that communicates status quite as clearly as a gold Day-Date.
