The 118208 is the smooth-bezel Day-Date 36 of the 6-digit era, the understated yellow-gold President that leaves the bezel plain. It is the 6-digit successor to the 5-digit smooth [[Reference:18208|18208]], on the broader 6-digit case and the caliber 3155, and unlike the fluted [[Reference:118238|118238]] it was offered on the sporty Oyster bracelet as well as the President. The smooth bezel was the minority taste, which makes the 118208 the sleeper of the generation. Where it commands real money is the dial, and specifically the hardstone dials, coral and bloodstone and garnet, that turn an understated President into a headline result.
