About this watch
Rolex Yellow Gold Day-Date 36 Watch - Fluted Bezel - Silver Diamond Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 118238 sdo
At the heart of the Rolex 118238 beats the perpetual, self-winding caliber 3155, a movement engineered specifically to power the Day-Date's signature dual calendar complications while maintaining the brand's legendary precision standards. This 36mm yellow gold case houses a silver diamond dial that transforms the traditional presidential watch into something altogether more luminous, with ten brilliant-cut diamonds replacing hour markers at positions other than 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. The fluted bezel, machined exclusively by Rolex craftsmen, catches light with the same mathematical precision that defines the Oyster bracelet's three-piece link construction. Reference 118238 represents the modern interpretation of the Day-Date legacy, combining the collection's inherent gravitas with contemporary manufacturing excellence.
