About Rolex Day-Date 36, Reference 128238

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36, Reference 128238, is an embodiment of timeless elegance and technical prowess. Crafted exclusively in precious materials, the Day-Date 36 is available in solid 18ct yellow gold, Everose gold, or white gold, making it one of the most prestigious watches in the Rolex catalog. The 128238 model, in particular, is presented in 18ct yellow gold, which highlights its luxurious appearance.

Key Features:

• Case: The 36mm Oyster case, crafted from solid 18ct yellow gold, boasts Rolex’s iconic design, offering waterproof protection up to 100 meters (330 feet). The fluted bezel, a hallmark of Rolex craftsmanship, not only adds to its aesthetic allure but also serves as a symbol of distinction.
• Dial: The Day-Date 36 in this reference features a variety of dial options, including those with diamond-set hour markers or Roman numerals. One of the most prominent characteristics of the Day-Date is its dual display: the date is shown at 3 o'clock through the iconic Cyclops lens, while the day of the week is displayed in full at 12 o’clock, a unique feature introduced by Rolex in 1956.
  
• Bracelet: This model is equipped with the President bracelet, a design created exclusively for the Day-Date. Its semi-circular three-piece links ensure both style and comfort. The hidden Crownclasp ensures the bracelet's security while maintaining a seamless aesthetic.
  
• Movement: Powering the Day-Date 36 is the Rolex calibre 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. The calibre 3255 offers superlative precision, a 70-hour power reserve, and exceptional resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. It also features Rolex’s innovative Chronergy escapement, which enhances energy efficiency.
  
• Superlative Chronometer Certification: Like all Rolex watches, the Day-Date 36 is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, a testament to its accuracy and durability. This ensures that the watch meets Rolex’s stringent criteria, which exceed the COSC standards for precision.
  

Legacy:

The Rolex Day-Date has long been associated with leaders and influencers, earning it the nickname "the President's watch." Since its introduction in 1956, it has remained a symbol of prestige and success, with the 128238 continuing this legacy of excellence.
