The Rolex Day-Date II 218238 is a reference in the Rolex Day-Date collection. Rolex made it from 2008 to 2015.

The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.

What the sales say

Between December 2023 and September 2026 we recorded the sales listed on this page, and 22 of them count toward today's range: every one of them an eBay sale. Sales bunched in January 2024, which alone accounts for 5 of them. It carries a moderate-confidence label: the range is a sound guide, but a single sale can still land outside it. The last recorded result is 49 days old, recent enough to anchor the figure. Too few sales landed in the past 90 days to rate how much prices swing. A fair price for the 218238 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.

Twelve months on, the typical sale has gained about 3.4% against the year before. Its sales history in our records starts in December 2023, too recent for a long-run comparison yet.

Missing the box and papers costs about 20% on this reference, going by 20 bare-watch sales across its line. Of the 42 sales listed, 9 came as a full set, 0 as the watch alone and 4 with part of the set. Cheapest in the list: January 30, 2024, on eBay, set not stated, about 62% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: October 30, 2024, on eBay, set not stated, about 73% above the worth-about figure.
