Rolex Day-Date 36 Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Diamonds / President / Meteorite

About this watch

The Rolex Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Diamonds / President / Meteorite is a stunning representation of Rolex's dedication to craftsmanship and luxury. With its striking yellow gold case, gem-set bezel, and unique meteorite dial, this watch stands out in any collection. The meteorite dial material is rare and has a unique texture that cannot be replicated, while the gem-set indexes add an extra layer of luxury to the watch. At the core of the Day-Date 36 is the Rolex Caliber 3155, a self-winding mechanical movement developed entirely in-house by Rolex. This movement not only powers the timekeeping functions but also the day and date displays with exceptional accuracy and reliability. The closed case back and sapphire crystal ensure that the inner workings are protected from dust and moisture, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. With its 36mm diameter, the watch is designed to fit a variety of wrist sizes comfortably. The yellow gold material contributes to a substantial yet comfortable weight that feels luxurious on the wrist.
