2000 Rolex Day-Date 118209 - 18K White Gold Cherry Dial

Trade In
Details
A Modern Take On The President
The Day-Date has always been Rolex's top offering, exclusively produced in precious metals. This reference 118209 pairs the model's inherent prestige with the cool, understated tone of 18K white gold. The configuration is what sets it apart. By combining the smooth bezel and sporty Oyster bracelet with a metallic cherry dial, it presents a less formal, more contemporary version of the brand’s flagship watch.
A Combination Of Quiet Confidence
This example brings together a series of deliberate choices. The smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet give this Day-Date a profile closer to a steel sports watch, removing the formality often associated with the fluted bezel and President bracelet. It carries the substantial weight of solid gold, but its appearance is subtle. The rich cherry dial provides a controlled burst of color against the monochrome metal, a detail that makes the watch truly distinct without being loud.
A Clean Example In White Gold
This watch is in very good condition. The 18K white gold case maintains its strong, original lines. The cherry dial is clean and vibrant, and the Oyster bracelet feels solid and secure on the wrist. The entire piece presents a clean, well-kept example of a modern Day-Date. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Stealth Wealth Standard
This is the Day-Date for someone who wants the gravity of solid gold without the traditional look of a yellow gold timepiece. It’s a powerful watch that doesn’t need to announce itself. The sportier configuration makes it incredibly versatile, suitable for daily wear in any setting. It occupies the highest tier of the Rolex catalog but wears with an ease that makes it a perfect choice for a single, go-anywhere watch.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
