The Rolex Day-Date 36 reference 128349RBR-0001 is a prestigious 36mm timepiece crafted from solid 18k white gold. This model features a sunray silver dial with applied index hour markers and is distinguished by a fixed bezel set with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds. The watch is paired with the iconic President bracelet, which consists of semi-circular three-piece links and a concealed folding Crownclasp. It is powered by the in-house caliber 3255 automatic movement, a COSC-certified chronometer that offers a 70-hour power reserve and a high level of resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.
The watch features the collection’s signature complications, including a day-of-the-week window at 12 o’clock and a date aperture at 3 o’clock, both of which change instantaneously at midnight. The date is magnified by the brand’s trademark Cyclops lens on the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Built for durability despite its luxury aesthetic, the Oyster case includes a screw-down Twinlock crown to ensure water resistance up to 100 meters.
General reviews of the 128349RBR highlight its classic proportions and the refined interplay between the white gold construction and the factory-set diamond bezel. While the 36mm size is often praised for its traditional elegance and universal wearability, some collectors note that the extensive use of diamonds makes it a more specialized choice compared to standard fluted bezel models. The movement is widely regarded as a significant technical achievement, providing modern reliability and a substantial power reserve that allows the watch to remain accurate even if not worn over a weekend.
