With its elegant design and robust features, it perfectly balances sophistication with functionality. The model boasts a stunning black dial and a lustrous yellow gold case, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion. The first thing you'll notice about the Day-Date 36 is its stunning yellow gold case, crafted from 18k gold, radiating luxury and opulence. The fluted bezel adds a touch of elegance, catching the light beautifully. With a diameter of 36mm, it sits comfortably on the wrist, making it an ideal size for both men and women. The black dial is where the magic happens, with the contrast between the black background and the yellow gold markers and hands creating a striking visual appeal.

The stick and dot indexes enhance readability while maintaining a sleek look. The stick hands sweep gracefully across the dial, marking the passage of time with precision.

The links are beautifully polished, and the watch feels perfectly balanced on the wrist. It’s designed to be worn every day, yet it remains a masterpiece of luxury. Now, what’s a luxury watch without an exceptional movement? The Day-Date 36 is powered by the Rolex caliber 3155, a self-winding mechanical movement that showcases Rolex's commitment to quality. Introduced in 1988, this movement is a marvel of engineering, featuring a day and date calendar disc mechanism. As a certified Swiss chronometer, the caliber 3155 has passed rigorous testing, ensuring it meets the highest standards of precision. With 31 jewels and a power reserve of 48 hours, you can count on this watch to keep ticking even if you take it off for a weekend getaway.
