For some, it's the epitome of bling, showy and ostentatious, but the vast majority of watch enthusiasts agree that this watch is an iconic classic! Without resorting to familiar adjectives, this 5-digit Day-Date represents elegance in an all-gold version for me. This model comes with an onyx dial, which provides a striking contrast to the classic champagne dial. The President bracelet is undoubtedly the Day-Date's defining feature. It also looks beautiful on leather, but it's quite different, certainly more conventional. The 18038 reference (single quick-set) is noticeably thinner than the 18238 (double quick-set) and much less bulky than the latest generation (not to mention the price, of course). In short, if you're looking for a solid, all-gold watch with a history, without spending €40,000, the Day-Date is an excellent choice!
