The Rolex Day-Date 218398 is a commanding expression of prestige, crafted in 18k yellow gold with a bold 41mm case—the largest size ever offered in the Day-Date lineup. Its champagne dial, paired with diamond-set hour markers, as well as two ruby-set hour markers, and luminous hands, delivers a warm, classic aesthetic that complements the luxurious case and iconic President bracelet.

Elevating its opulence, the bezel is factory-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, adding brilliance to this already commanding timepiece. The day and date displays at 12 and 3 o’clock, respectively, remain hallmarks of the Day-Date, while the watch is powered by the Caliber 3156, known for its reliability and precision. As a short-lived reference produced only for a few years, the 218398 holds strong appeal for collectors who seek both exclusivity and unmistakable Rolex presence in a full-gold, gem-set execution.

The Rolex Day-Date 218398 is a commanding expression of luxury and prestige, crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold with an impressive 41mm case—Rolex’s largest Day-Date size prior to the 40mm format. This 2010 reference pairs the unmistakable warmth of yellow gold with a classic champagne dial, framed by a brilliant factory-set diamond bezel that enhances its opulent appeal.

The dial is adorned with diamond-set hour markers, as well as two ruby-set hour markers, and luminous hands, offering a refined yet legible display. The iconic day aperture at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock—magnified by the Cyclops lens—underscore the Day-Date’s signature functionality. The combination of precious materials and clean design exemplifies Rolex’s enduring legacy of elegance.

Fitted with the prestigious President bracelet, known for its semi-circular three-piece links and concealed Crownclasp, the watch delivers both comfort and visual continuity.

The Day-Date 218398 is a bold statement piece for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate Rolex’s mastery in balancing timeless design, mechanical excellence, and uncompromising luxury.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
