25,719.86 2000 - 2001 172434 Excellent Mens Box Only Yellow Gold Sapphire 36mm 18k Yellow Gold Fluted K127XXX Champagne w/ Index hour markers, Superluminova hands & Superluminova lume 3155 Automatic Fixed Date Yellow Gold President Concealed Folding Crownclasp Pre-owned Rolex Day-Date ref 118238 (2000 - 2001) replaced the long-running 5-digit ref. 18238, featuring polished lugs instead of brushed gold and more solid bracelet links. Overall, it feels heavier on the wrist but has a similar, all-gold aesthetic as its predecessor, albeit slightly more contemporary.  Furthermore, this model sports the same caliber 3155 as its predecessor. This model has since been discontinued to make way for its successor, ref. 128238. However, we have a handsome example with a discontinued tapestry dial for sale here in excellent secondhand condition. Features include a gold and Super-LumiNova display, scratch-resistant sapphire, and a Twinlock waterproof screw-down crown.
