The Rolex Day-Date Pearlmaster Ref. 18956 is an ultra-premium variation of the classic Day-Date, featuring an exquisite platinum case and bracelet adorned with lavish gemstone embellishments. As part of the prestigious Pearlmaster collection, this model elevates Rolex’s tradition of luxury with meticulously set diamond bezels, diamond hour markers, and rare, exotic dial variations.
Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3155, the watch retains the iconic day and date complications while delivering top-tier precision and reliability. A rare and exclusive masterpiece, the 18956 is a statement of prestige, highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship paired with Rolex’s legendary durability.
What truly sets this example apart is its meteorite dial—a rare and natural material formed from space rocks that have traveled through the universe for millions of years before reaching Earth. Rolex carefully selects and etches each meteorite dial to reveal the distinctive Widmanstätten pattern, a crystalline structure that ensures every dial is entirely unique. It is further elevated by pear shaped diamonds set on the dial at 6 and 9 o'clock.
