Introduction to Jejomar Binay
Jejomar Binay is one of the most recognizable figures in Philippine politics. Born in 1942, he served as the 13th Vice President of the Philippines from 2010 to 2016 under President Benigno Aquino III. Before reaching the country's second-highest office, Binay built his political base over more than two decades as Mayor of Makati City, a tenure that made him one of the longest-serving and most scrutinized local executives in Philippine history. He ran for the presidency in 2016, finishing third in a crowded field. His career has been marked by both genuine grassroots popularity among lower-income Filipinos and persistent legal and political controversies that have defined much of his later public life.
The Jejomar Binay watch collection, as documented in our sightings database, currently centers on a single but significant piece: a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date, consistent with reference 18238, a model produced between 1988 and 2000. The watch was photographed on his left wrist during what appears to be a campaign event, the gold case and President bracelet visible even in a candid, close-quarters shot as he embraced a supporter. The Day-Date 18238 is a solid 18-karat yellow gold watch featuring Rolex's proprietary President bracelet, a reference long associated with heads of state, executives, and political figures globally.
The choice of a yellow gold Day-Date at a grassroots campaign event is a detail worth noting. The Day-Date has historically been the reference Rolex reserves for its most precious metal configurations, and the 18238 in particular represents the transition-era models before the current 118238 took over in 2000. Whether worn as a long-held personal piece or a deliberate accessory, its appearance in an informal political setting adds a layer of contrast that watch observers tend to find more revealing than a formal portrait ever would.
Former Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay Spotted Wearing Rolex Day-Date in 18k Yellow Gold with Champagne Dial
Inserted 04/05/2023
The Rolex Day-Date earned its 'President's Watch' nickname not by marketing decree but by decades of being strapped to the wrists of heads of state — making it a quietly appropriate choice for a former Vice President of the Philippines. Jejomar 'Jojo' Binay, currently campaigning for a Senate seat, was photographed wearing what appears to be a classic 36mm Day-Date in 18k yellow gold on the iconic President bracelet, champagne dial with applied Roman numerals and baton hour markers, fluted bezel — the definitive configuration of arguably Rolex's most politically loaded reference.
