Rolex Day-Date 36 in 18ct Yellow Gold - Ombré Green Diamond Dial | Ref. 128238

Why we love this watch

Few timepieces carry the cultural weight of the Rolex Day-Date - and this example, reference 128238, represents the collection at its most luminous. Crafted entirely in 18ct yellow gold, the 36mm round case is polished to a standard that speaks for itself, its warm tone amplified by a fluted bezel in matching gold that catches the light from every angle. At the heart of this piece lies the dial - a sunburst ombré green canvas set with diamonds, shifting in depth and brilliance as the light moves across it. It is the kind of dial that transforms a watch from an instrument of precision into a genuine objet d'art. Diamond hour markers add further dimension, each one precisely set and perfectly proportioned against the gradated green ground. The Day-Date's twin complications - a full day display and a date window at three o'clock - are rendered with the clarity and refinement that have made this reference the preferred choice of those who expect more from a watch than mere timekeeping. The 70-hour power reserve ensures the movement keeps pace with the demands of modern life. Completing the ensemble is the President bracelet in 18ct yellow gold, a design so closely associated with this reference that the two are inseparable in watchmaking history. Its semi-circular three-piece links sit flush against the wrist, offering a sensation of weight and warmth that no other bracelet replicates. Available now through SASO in Brisbane, this Rolex Day-Date 36 ref. 128238 is a rare opportunity to acquire one of horology's most celebrated pieces in a configuration that is as bold as it is beautiful.
