Rolex, Day-Date 36, 128238, Carnelian Roman Diamond Dial, Yellow Gold, Presidential Bracelet, 36mm.

The watch is crafted in a 36mm Oyster case made from 18ct yellow gold, giving the profile a heavier and more substantial feel despite its compact proportions.

Its case structure combines a screw-down caseback with a Twinlock winding crown, forming a sealed construction engineered for water resistance up to 100 meters.

The fluted bezel surrounds the dial with sharply machined ridges that create narrow, shifting reflections around the outer edge of the case.

At the center is a dial cut from natural carnelian, recognizable for its orangey tone and naturally occurring layered patterns formed by variations in the mineral.

Unlike lacquer or metallic finishes, the surface texture comes directly from the stone structure, meaning each dial carries a slightly different arrangement of lines and tonal transitions.

Roman VI and IX numerals are set with diamonds, while the remaining hour markers are mounted in 18ct gold settings with additional diamonds integrated throughout the layout.

The day display stretches across 12 o’clock, while the date at 3 o’clock sits beneath the Cyclops lens for improved visibility.

Its President bracelet is crafted in matching yellow gold, featuring semi-circular three-piece links that contour naturally around the wrist.

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

Because the dial is formed from natural carnelian rather than a manufactured surface, the watch has a more organic visual character, in which the patterns and color depth shift subtly from one angle to another rather than appearing perfectly uniform.
