Overview & Prestige The Rolex Day‑Date 36 mm Ref. 118346 is the epitome of luxury and refinement—crafted entirely in 950 platinum, a hallmark of Rolex’s most exclusive models.

The platinum bezel is factory-set with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds, meticulously aligned for brilliance and harmony. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens protects the dial, while the Twinlock screw-down crown guarantees 100 m of water resistance....Read More Movement & Technical Specs At its heart is Rolex’s in-house Calibre 3155 automatic movement, featuring the Double Quickset for rapid day/date adjustments, hacking seconds, COSC-certified precision, and a robust 48-hour power reserve.
