About the Model

When a Presidential Classic meets Midas Touch

The Rolex Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Ivory White Dial ref. 118238-0061 is a stunning timepiece that showcases Rolex’s unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail. Housed in a 36mm case crafted from 18 karat yellow gold, this watch exudes an air of timeless elegance. The fluted bezel, a signature Rolex design element, was originally created to serve a functional purpose which was to screw the bezel into the case and ensure the waterproofness of the watch. Over time, this fluting has become an aesthetic trademark, adding a touch of distinction to the watch’s appearance. The watch’s dial is a true testament to Rolex’s expertise in lacquer work. The ivory white color is achieved through a meticulous process that involves successively depositing six thin layers of lacquer on a brass base plate. A colorless varnish is then applied to give the color depth and shine, before the surface is meticulously polished to magnify the hue. The result is a dial that radiates an almost limitless freedom of color, with a smooth and uniform finish. The applied index hour markers and luminescent hands ensure excellent legibility, both day and night.
