Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 118388NRZ, 18K Yellow Gold, Pavé Diamond Dial with Mother-of-Pearl Romans

A fully jeweled Day-Date 36 in solid 18K yellow gold: a factory pavé diamond dial ringed by white mother-of-pearl Roman numerals, framed by a factory diamond bezel and lugs, and carried on a President bracelet with diamond-set center links. It is the presidential silhouette in its most opulent factory form.

The Piece

The Ref. 118388NRZ carries the Day-Date, the line that has defined Rolex prestige since 1956, into a complete statement of gem-setting. Encased entirely in 18K yellow gold, it pairs a factory pavé diamond dial and mother-of-pearl Roman numerals with a factory diamond-set bezel and lugs.

The pavé field is set in tight formation, an unbroken surface of light that shifts with every gesture, while the white mother-of-pearl Roman numerals on the outer track add contrast and depth. The President bracelet, factory set with diamonds on its center links, gives the watch its expected Rolex presence: strong, regal and immediately identifiable.

At its heart is Rolex's automatic Day-Date movement, with the day at 12 o'clock and the date at 3 o'clock, the dual-calendar display that has graced the wrists of world leaders for decades. Rolex's gem-setting division is among the most respected in Swiss watchmaking, selecting high-clarity stones, cutting them to exacting tolerances and setting them by hand, and the 118388 series carries that tradition to the meeting point of watchmaking and haute joaillerie.
