Source your dream watch

The Rolex Day-Date 36 reference 118238-GLDAFP is a timeless symbol of achievement and horological excellence. Introduced as the first wristwatch to display the full day of the week spelled out in full, the Day-Date has been crafted exclusively in precious metals since its debut in 1956. This particular reference continues that storied tradition, presenting the hallmark day and date display at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively on a superbly finished champagne dial with Arabic numeral hour markers.

The 36mm case is crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, offering a warm, lustrous presence on the wrist that only solid precious metal can provide. The yellow gold fluted bezel — one of the most iconic design signatures in fine watchmaking — frames the champagne Arabic dial with authoritative elegance. Every surface of the case transitions between polished and brushed finishing with the surgical precision Rolex is renowned for.

The champagne dial fitted with Arabic numerals lends the 118238-GLDAFP a particularly distinguished character, balancing legibility with a sense of old-world sophistication. The warm tones of the champagne dial harmonize naturally with the 18k yellow gold case and bracelet, making the entire watch feel cohesive and intentionally composed from a single vision of luxury.

The Day-Date 36 is powered by an automatic movement, ensuring reliable and self-winding daily performance befitting a watch of this caliber. The President bracelet — developed specifically for the Day-Date and available only on this model and select other precious-metal Rolex references — provides a secure, comfortable fit and an unmistakable silhouette. Its semi-circular three-piece links are instantly recognizable as the finishing touch that makes the Day-Date complete.
