In short
The Rolex Day-Date, known as the President, is the brand's flagship prestige watch and the only Rolex that spells out the full day of the week in an arc at 12 o'clock alongside the date at 3 o'clock. Produced exclusively in 18-karat yellow, white, or Everose gold or in 950 platinum, it has long been the most formal and status-defining piece in the catalog, traditionally paired with the semi-circular three-piece-link President bracelet.
We buy every generation and reference of the Day-Date, from the vintage 36mm 1803 and 18038 through the sapphire-era 118238 and 118206 to the modern 40mm 228238, 228206, and 128238, in any condition and with or without the original box and papers. Owners can sell in person at our Miami office in Brickell or our Beverly Hills office in Los Angeles by appointment, or remotely with fully insured shipping, and receive a same-day cash offer.

Sell Your Rolex Day-Date for Cash
The Rolex Day-Date, often called the President, is one of the most prestigious watches Rolex makes, and it stays in strong demand on the pre-owned market. We buy Day-Date models directly from owners across the country, paying same-day cash, bank wire, or cryptocurrency. The full process, from inspection to payment, takes about 15 minutes at any of our offices in Miami, Los Angeles, or New York, and we also buy remotely with insured shipping.
The Day-Date holds its value because it is produced only in precious metals, including 18k yellow gold, white gold, Everose gold, and platinum. That intrinsic metal content, combined with the model's status and tight supply, keeps resale interest high. Specific dial colors, bezel styles, and discontinued references can carry meaningful premiums over the base value.
When we evaluate your Day-Date, we verify authenticity through the serial number, movement, and case materials, then assess the reference, dial, bezel, bracelet, and overall condition. Original box and papers add value but are not required. We buy authentic Rolex only, and every quote is free with no obligation to sell.
Day-Date References We Buy
We buy every Day-Date reference, vintage to current. Some of the most in-demand:
What Affects Your Day-Date's Value
- Case material drives the base value, with platinum models typically commanding the most, followed by white, Everose, and yellow gold
- Discontinued references, including earlier 36mm models and sought-after vintage Presidents, can carry collector premiums
- Dial and bezel variants matter, including diamond dials, stone or colored dials, and the difference between fluted and smooth bezels
- Original box, papers, and matching documentation increase the offer, though we buy without them
- Overall condition, including bracelet stretch, polishing history, and originality of components, affects the final price
- The Day-Date 40 with the newer caliber 3255 movement is in particularly strong demand among current buyers

Selling a Rolex Day-Date: FAQ
How much is my Rolex Day-Date worth?
Value depends on the reference, case material, dial and bezel, condition, and whether you have the box and papers. Platinum and gold models with desirable dials bring the strongest offers. Bring or ship your watch for a free, no-obligation quote and we will give you an exact figure same day.
Can I sell my Day-Date without the box and papers?
Yes. We buy Day-Date watches with or without the original box and papers. Complete sets add value, but missing accessories do not stop us from making a fair cash offer after we verify the watch.
Do you buy vintage Day-Date Presidents?
Yes. We buy vintage references such as the 1803 and 18038, along with later models. Vintage Presidents in original condition with honest dials can be especially desirable to collectors, and we price them accordingly.
Which Day-Date references are most in demand?
Platinum models like the 228206 and 118206 with ice blue dials, current Day-Date 40 references such as the 228238, and well-kept vintage Presidents tend to attract the strongest demand. We make competitive offers on all genuine Day-Date references.
How fast do I get paid?
Once we authenticate your Day-Date, the inspection-to-payment process takes about 15 minutes. You choose same-day cash, a bank wire, or cryptocurrency. Remote sellers are paid as soon as the watch arrives and is verified.
How much can I sell my Rolex for?
It depends on the model, reference, condition, age and whether you have the original box and papers. Most pre-owned Rolex watches sell from a few thousand dollars up to tens of thousands; rare Daytonas and precious-metal pieces go higher. Send us photos and the reference number for a free, accurate quote.
Can I sell a Rolex without box and papers?
Yes. We buy Rolex watches with or without the original box and papers. A full set typically sells for more, but missing documentation is not a problem. We verify authenticity by serial number, movement and materials, not by paperwork.
How do you verify the watch is authentic?
Our experts inspect the serial and reference numbers, examine the movement, and analyze the case and bracelet materials. We buy authentic Rolex watches only.
How fast do I get paid?
The full process, from inspection to signed agreement and payment, takes about 15 minutes in person. You can be paid the same day in cash, by bank wire, or in cryptocurrency for larger amounts.
Is it safe to sell my Rolex to you?
Yes. We evaluate your watch in person while it stays in your sight, and offer secure, insured shipping for remote sales. We have bought and sold Rolex watches for over a decade with a stellar reputation.
Which Rolex models do you buy?
We buy all authentic Rolex models, including Submariner, Cosmograph Daytona, Datejust, Day-Date, GMT-Master II, Yacht-Master, Sea-Dweller, Sky-Dweller, Explorer, Air-King, Milgauss, Oyster Perpetual, Pearlmaster and Cellini.
Can I get a loan against my Rolex instead of selling?
Yes. We offer confidential same-day loans using your Rolex as collateral, on flexible terms, with an honest assessment of the loan amount. The entire process takes no more than 15 minutes.
