Rolex Day-Date 36mm Silver 128236

Fluted Bezel

A Rolex Signature

The fluted bezel, originally designed to screw the Oyster case for waterproofness, evolved into an iconic aesthetic element. Today, it is a hallmark of distinction, crafted in platinum on the Day-Date 36.

Silver Dial

A Watchmaking Technique

The sunray finish produces delicate light reflections on the dial, created by expert brushing techniques radiating from the centre. Light is evenly diffused along the grooves, giving a subtle, moving glow. The colour is applied via Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating, finished with a light coat of varnish for a refined look.

Platinum

The Noblest of Metals

Rare and precious, platinum dazzles with silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity. Despite its density and corrosion resistance, it is soft, elastic, and highly malleable, making machining and polishing extremely challenging. Rolex uses 950 platinum, meticulously crafted in-house, for the finest timepieces.

The President Bracelet

The Ultimate Refinement

Created in 1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, the President bracelet features semi-circular three-piece links for unmatched comfort and elegance. Its design, production, and stringent testing combine advanced technology with meticulous visual inspection, ensuring every bracelet is crafted from the finest precious metals.
