About this product

Champagne in solid 18 ct yellow gold on the President bracelet, fluted bezel, no diamonds. This is the most traditional watch Rolex makes at 31mm — warm dial, warm gold, and nothing else happening. It is the version that looks least like a current product and most like something inherited, which for a lot of buyers is the point. Calibre 2236 runs at roughly fifty-five hours.

This watch comes with the manufacturer's warranty card, backed up by our own Alan Furman & Co warranty.
