Rolex, Day-Date 36, 128235, Diamond Pave Dial, Rose Gold, Presidential Bracelet, 36mm

The watch is crafted in a 36mm Oyster case made from 18ct rose gold, giving the design a warm appearance that complements the extensive gemstone setting across the dial.

Its Oyster construction incorporates a screw-down caseback and Twinlock winding crown, maintaining water resistance up to 100 meters while preserving the classic proportions of the Day-Date 36.

The fluted bezel surrounds the case with sharply defined ridges that create structured reflections, offering a visual contrast to the more intricate dial beneath.

At the center is a diamond pavé dial, where the surface is set with numerous diamonds that create a continuous field of brilliance rather than isolated reflective points.

Unlike traditional sunray or lacquer dials, the visual character is defined almost entirely by the arrangement of gemstones, causing the dial to react dramatically to changing light conditions.

A distinctive feature of this reference is the use of ten baguette-cut sapphires in rainbow colors as hour markers.

Each sapphire is individually selected and positioned to maintain consistency in color progression and alignment across the dial.

The day display spans across 12 o’clock, while the date aperture at 3 o’clock is magnified through the Cyclops lens for enhanced readability.

Its President bracelet is crafted in matching rose gold, using semi-circular three-piece links originally developed specifically for the Day-Date collection and designed for long-term comfort on the wrist.

A concealed Crownclasp integrates directly into the bracelet, preserving a continuous metallic appearance when secured.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex caliber 3255 automatic movement, delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve and regulated to Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard.

What makes this reference unusual is the way color is introduced.

Rather than relying on a colored dial surface, the rainbow sapphire markers provide visual contrast, creating a composition in which gemstones become both the time display and the defining design element of the watch.
