Rolex Day-Date 36mm Blue 128236

Bright Blue Dial

Expert Watchmaking with a Radiant Glow

This striking dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds and a sunray finish that produces delicate reflections across the Oyster Perpetual collection. The effect is achieved through precise brushing techniques, creating fine grooves radiating from the center of the dial.

These grooves diffuse light evenly, generating a subtle glow that shifts with the movement of the wrist. After the sunray finish, the dial’s vibrant blue color is applied via Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating, followed by a light varnish, resulting in a polished and luminous finish that exemplifies Rolex craftsmanship.

Fluted Bezel

The Iconic Rolex Signature

The fluted bezel is one of Rolex’s most distinctive design elements, blending heritage, precision, and elegance. Originally, its fluting served a functional purpose—securing the bezel to the case to ensure water resistance.

This design mirrored the fluted case back, which was also fastened using specialized Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting evolved into a purely aesthetic hallmark. Today, crafted in platinum on the Day-Date 36, the fluted bezel symbolizes refinement, luxury, and Rolex’s timeless craftsmanship.

Platinum

The Pinnacle of Precious Metals

Renowned for its silvery-white brilliance and radiant luminosity, platinum is one of the rarest and most precious metals. It is exceptionally dense and heavy, with remarkable chemical and physical properties, including outstanding resistance to corrosion.

Despite its durability, platinum is also soft, elastic, and highly malleable, making it a challenge to machine and polish—requiring the highest level of expertise. Rolex exclusively uses 950 platinum, an alloy of 950‰ pure platinum, meticulously crafted in-house by master metalworkers, ensuring the noblest metal is reserved for its most prestigious timepieces.

The President Bracelet

Timeless Elegance and Supreme Comfort

The President bracelet is the epitome of Rolex craftsmanship, combining advanced technology with meticulous design and rigorous testing to ensure exceptional quality and durability.

Every detail undergoes careful aesthetic inspection to guarantee flawless beauty. Introduced in 1956 alongside the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, its iconic semi-circular three-piece links are crafted exclusively from the finest precious metals, offering unmatched comfort and enduring sophistication.
