Rolex Day-Date 36 118238-MOPRRP White Mother of Pearl Roman Fluted Yellow Gold President - BRAND NEW

The Rolex Day-Date is, without question, one of the most storied and prestigious watches ever produced, and the 36mm reference 118238-MOPRRP represents the line at its most elegant. Introduced as the first wristwatch to display both the date and the full spelling of the day of the week, the Day-Date has been crafted exclusively in precious metals since its debut, a tradition that remains unbroken today. The 118238-MOPRRP continues this heritage in solid 18k yellow gold, from case to bracelet, making it a true head-to-toe precious metal statement.

The dial is where this reference truly distinguishes itself. White mother of pearl is a naturally occurring material harvested from the inner lining of mollusk shells, and each dial is therefore unique — no two display precisely the same iridescent shimmer or depth of color. Paired with Roman numeral hour markers, the dial takes on a classical, almost architectural character, balancing the organic beauty of the mother of pearl with the structured elegance of Roman typography. The result is a dial that rewards close inspection and changes subtly under different light sources.

Framing the dial is a yellow gold fluted bezel, one of the most recognized design signatures in all of watchmaking. The precisely machined fluting catches and refracts light, adding a faceted brilliance to the 36mm yellow gold case that is both understated and unmistakably Rolex. At 36mm, the case size sits at the historic heart of the Day-Date collection, proportioned for a broad range of wrist sizes and carrying the confident, balanced look that has graced the wrists of heads of state and cultural icons for decades.

The watch is presented on Rolex's iconic President bracelet, developed specifically for and named in honor of the Day-Date. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the three-piece semi-circular link bracelet is renowned for its exceptional comfort and its fluid drape on the wrist. The concealed Crownclasp integrates seamlessly into the bracelet design, preserving the clean, uninterrupted line of yellow gold from lug to clasp. On the wrist, the combination of the President bracelet and yellow gold case delivers a weight and presence that immediately communicates quality.

Powering the Day-Date 36 is an automatic movement, a Rolex manufacture caliber built to the brand's exacting standards of precision, reliability, and longevity. Rolex movements undergo rigorous testing and chronometric certification, reflecting the brand's decades-long commitment to accuracy. As a brand-new example, this reference 118238-MOPRRP comes with the full backing of Rolex's warranty, ensuring peace of mind alongside its considerable aesthetic appeal.
