About this watch

The 36mm yellow gold case of the Day-Date 118348 delivers substantial wrist presence through its mother-of-pearl diamond dial that catches light with every gesture. This reference represents Rolex's mastery of precious metal case construction, where 18-karat yellow gold flows seamlessly into the iconic President bracelet's three-piece links. The mother-of-pearl surface creates an ever-shifting canvas beneath the diamond hour markers, while the dual apertures at 12 and 3 o'clock display the day and date complications that define this collection. In unworn condition, every surface maintains the mirror-polish finish that distinguishes factory-fresh examples from their seasoned counterparts.
