Rolex Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Diamonds / President Diamonds / Black Diamonds Rubies

About this watch

The Rolex Day-Date 36 stands out among luxury watches, combining elegance with functionality in its unique features. This exquisite timepiece is a refined version of the iconic 'President' watch, introduced in 1956. Its opulent use of 18ct yellow gold and gem-set bezel add an extra layer of sophistication, featuring a dazzling array of diamonds that catch the light beautifully. At the heart of this watch lies a striking black dial with a sunburst finish, making it easy to read the time. The Day-Date series' day and date display is a hallmark of Rolex's commitment to combining style with utility. The Caliber 3155 self-winding mechanical movement is a marvel of engineering, entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. With 31 jewels and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, this movement is designed for precision and reliability. Whether you're at a formal event or enjoying a day by the pool, you can wear this watch with confidence due to its water resistance of up to 100 meters.
