The Rolex Day-Date 36 reference 128235-0070 is a prestigious 36mm timepiece crafted from 18k Everose gold, an exclusive pink gold alloy developed and patented by Rolex to preserve its luster over time. This model features a crisp white lacquer dial adorned with deconstructed Roman numeral hour markers also in 18k gold. The case is equipped with a signature fluted bezel and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens over the date aperture. It is paired with the iconic President bracelet, characterized by its semi-circular three-piece links and a concealed folding Crownclasp.
At its core, the watch is powered by the caliber 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This Superlative Chronometer offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and maintains a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. The movement supports center hour, minute, and seconds hands, along with the instantaneous day and date displays in separate apertures. For durability and reliability, the watch features a Twinlock double waterproofness system, ensuring water resistance up to 100 meters.
General reviews of the 128235 series emphasize its exceptional wearability and the warmth of the Everose gold compared to traditional pink gold. The 36mm proportions are often praised for being classic and versatile for various wrist sizes. While collectors frequently highlight the high level of finishing on the white lacquer dial and the comfort of the President bracelet, some critics note the lack of an anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. Overall, it is regarded as a quintessential luxury dress watch that balances traditional aesthetics with modern mechanical performance.
