Rolex Day-Date 36mm Yellow Gold 128238 Green Ombre Diamond Dial Apr 2024

The Rolex Day-Date ref. 128238 is the quintessential expression of prestige within the Rolex collection — a watch that has graced the wrists of world leaders, visionaries, and tastemakers since its introduction in 1956. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, this 36mm case embodies the pure, uncompromising luxury for which the Day-Date has always stood. As Rolex's flagship dress watch, the 128238 represents the pinnacle of the manufacture's goldsmithing tradition, housing a refined aesthetic that remains as commanding today as at its debut.

This particular example is distinguished by its extraordinary green ombré dial set with diamond hour markers — a breathtaking configuration that transitions from deep forest green at the periphery to a luminous, lighter tone toward the center, creating a mesmerizing gradient effect unique to this dial variant. The diamond-set indices catch and scatter light with exceptional brilliance, elevating the watch from a timekeeping instrument to a wearable jewel. The signature Day-Date display — spelling the full day of the week at 12 o'clock and the date at 3 o'clock behind a Cyclops lens — remains the defining complication of this iconic reference.

Powering the 128238 is the Rolex caliber 3255, the manufacture's most advanced self-winding movement and a landmark achievement in mechanical watchmaking. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer by Rolex's own standards — surpassing the precision requirements of the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute — the 3255 offers a 70-hour power reserve, enhanced shock resistance, and exceptional long-term reliability, making it one of the most accomplished movements in the industry.

The watch is presented on the iconic President bracelet, created exclusively for the Day-Date and crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, featuring the distinctive semi-circular three-piece links that lend the collection its unrivaled sense of cohesion and elegance. Offered in excellent condition with April 2024 papers, this 128238 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most sought-after configurations — a green ombré diamond dial Day-Date with fresh documentation that will only appreciate in desirability among discerning collectors.
