About this watch

Luminous mother-of-pearl meets the warm radiance of 18k yellow gold in this exceptional Day-Date configuration, where forty brilliant-cut diamonds encircle the 39mm case in perfect symmetry. The Rolex 18948 md represents the pinnacle of precious metal watchmaking, combining the collection's signature presidential bracelet with a diamond-set dial that catches light from every angle. This unworn example showcases the technical mastery behind Rolex's most luxurious complications, displaying both day and date through twin apertures while the automatic movement beats beneath a case crafted entirely from solid yellow gold.
