About this watch

Among contemporary Day-Date collectors, the 36mm yellow gold configuration with champagne jubilee diamond dial represents the quintessential expression of Rolex's flagship dress watch. The reference 118388 emerged during Rolex's transition to improved case architecture and refined dial execution, making examples in unworn condition particularly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate the model's traditional proportions. This specific variant showcases the brand's mastery of both precious metal case construction and diamond setting techniques, delivered in the classic 36mm footprint that defined the Day-Date's identity for over five decades.
