About this watch
At the heart of the Rolex 118296 beats the caliber 3155 automatic movement, a sophisticated mechanism that drives both the signature day-date complications and running seconds through a 48-hour power reserve. This platinum Day-Date 36 showcases Rolex's mastery of precious metal case construction, with the 950 platinum case offering both durability and prestige in the classic 36mm proportions. The silver diamond dial creates a refined backdrop for the applied hour markers, while the distinctive President bracelet—exclusive to Day-Date models—completes this unworn example's presidential provenance. Reference 118296 represents the modern evolution of Rolex's flagship dress watch, maintaining the collection's reputation as the choice of world leaders and industry titans.

- President Bracelet Integration — The iconic three-link President bracelet, exclusive to Day-Date models, features semi-circular links that create the signature fluid drape across the wrist
- Domed Bezel Profile — The smooth, domed bezel maintains clean proportions while directing attention to the dial's day-date complications
- Caliber 3155 Movement — COSC-certified automatic movement with instantaneous day and date changes at midnight, plus 48-hour power reserve
