Introduced as a successor to earlier Day-Date references, it maintained the collection's hallmark full day and date displays while introducing the caliber 3055 movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA key feature of the caliber 3055 was the addition of the Quickset date function, allowing the date to be adjusted independently without advancing the hands through multiple 24-hour cycles. This made the ref. 18038 significantly more convenient to use while preserving the classic 36mm yellow gold case, fluted bezel, and timeless Day-Date aesthetic. Positioned between the earlier vintage references and the later double Quickset models, the 18038 offers a compelling blend of classic Rolex character and improved functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAll images provided are of the actual watch you will receive.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFor added assurance, please contact us directly with any questions.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThis watch may or may not include specific parts, booklets, or accessories.
