Collection: Rolex Day-Date 36mm President Watches

The 36mm Day-Date is the original President size, the watch that made the President bracelet famous. This collection gathers our pre-owned Day-Date 36 watches, led by vintage references such as the 1803, 18038 and 18238, along with later 118235, 118208 and 118238 models.
