About this watch

The Rolex 18038 Burr Wood Day-Date is an exquisite blend of luxury and functionality. Crafted from yellow gold, the 36mm case is the epitome of elegance, with a closed case back that adds to its sleek profile. The stunning Burr Wood dial features warm brown hues reminiscent of luxurious wood finishes, creating a beautiful contrast against the gold case. The stick indexes and hands ensure easy readability while adding an element of modernity to its classic design. Whether you're in a dimly lit restaurant or out in the sun, the luminescent hands make sure you can always tell the time. The sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and durable, protecting the dial while ensuring clarity. With a water resistance of up to 100 meters, you can wear this watch in various environments without worrying about damage from splashes or brief immersion. The classic President bracelet features semi-circular links that hug the wrist perfectly, making it a joy to wear. The hidden clasp adds to the seamless look, ensuring that the focus remains on the stunning timepiece rather than the mechanisms that hold it together. One of the most vital aspects of any watch is its performance, and the Rolex 18038 Burr Wood delivers on functionality, thanks to the reliable caliber 3055 movement. This masterpiece of engineering offers superior precision and reliability, with a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour and 27 jewels that minimize friction and enhance longevity.
