About this watch

Powered by Rolex's caliber 3155 automatic movement with dual complications, this yellow gold Day-Date 36 reference 118238 showcases the manufacture's mastery of precious metal case construction and diamond-set dial artistry. The 36mm yellow gold case houses a striking blue diamond dial that transforms the classic presidential timepiece into a statement of refined luxury. Rolex's fluted bezel catches light at every angle, creating the signature play of shadows that has defined the Day-Date aesthetic since 1956. Complete with the iconic three-link President bracelet, this unworn example represents the pinnacle of Rolex's dress watch complications in their most traditional 36mm proportions.
