Reference 128235-0038 presents the Day-Date 36 in a 36 mm Oyster case crafted from 18 kt Everose gold, featuring a fluted bezel and a screw-down winding crown with Twinlock double waterproofness. The case back is also screw-down, and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal carries a Cyclops lens over the date window. Water resistance extends to 100 metres / 330 feet.
The dial is finished in a brown ombré gradation and set throughout with diamonds in 18 kt gold settings, while baguette-cut diamonds mark the 6 and 9 o'clock positions. The diamond-set President bracelet is rendered in matching 18 kt Everose gold and fastens with a concealed folding Crownclasp, completing the watch's richly gem-adorned character.
Powering the piece is Calibre 3255, a perpetual mechanical self-winding movement by Manufacture Rolex, offering a precision rating of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing and approximately 70 hours of power reserve. It features a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, bidirectional winding via a Perpetual rotor, and holds Superlative Chronometer certification reflecting both COSC and Rolex's own post-casing standards. This example is dated 2023.
