Rolex Day-Date 36 36 mm 118389PMODP White Gold/Diamonds Mother of Pearl

The Rolex Day-Date has held the title of the world's most prestigious wristwatch since its debut in 1956, and the 36mm reference 118389PMODP represents one of the most opulent interpretations of that legacy. Constructed entirely in 18k white gold, the case is further elevated by diamond-set lugs, transforming the watch from an already luxurious timepiece into a work of jewellery-grade artistry. The 36mm case diameter is the original and historically significant size of the Day-Date, maintaining the proportions that made the model an icon across more than six decades.

The dial of reference 118389PMODP is where the watch truly captivates. Mother of pearl, prized for its luminous iridescence and natural depth of color, serves as the base, while the Oxford motif—a refined decorative pattern—adds texture and visual complexity that changes subtly with every shift of light. No two mother of pearl dials are identical, ensuring that each watch is uniquely individual. The combination of the Oxford motif with the inherent luminosity of the material gives the dial a richness that photographs can only partially convey.

Framing the dial is a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds, continuing the theme of full gem-set luxury established by the case. The diamond bezel catches light from every angle and reinforces the haute joaillerie character of this reference. Paired with the President bracelet—a three-piece link design developed exclusively for the Day-Date and never used on any other Rolex model—the overall wrist presence is commanding and unmistakably regal.

Powering the watch is a Rolex automatic movement, the culmination of decades of in-house development and manufacturing. Rolex movements are chronometer-certified by the COSC and subjected to additional in-house testing to meet Rolex's own exacting standards. The result is a self-winding calibre that delivers accuracy and reliability befitting the watch's prestige positioning.
