Description

The venerable Day-Date has long stood as a paragon of Rolex ingenuity. Traditionally cased at 36 mm, a larger 41 mm variant debuted in 2008 as the Day-Date II. Today, the Day-Date family is available in classic 36 mm and contemporary 40 mm options. While Rolex has always pioneered material innovations like hardstone dials, recent collector enthusiasm for such uniqueness has grown exponentially. To date, the maison has incorporated 25 exquisite hardstones, each prized for rarity and peerless craftsmanship.


In 2021, Rolex subtly unveiled its newest creation—the 25th hardstone dial, Eisenkiesel. This Germanic semi-precious quartz, speckled with iron inclusions, normally manifests in warm yellow, red or brown hues. Its hardy 7 Mohs hardness provides durable elegance. Here, set against Rolex's own Everose gold case, the dial dazzles in its unique pattern of brown hues, further embellished with diamond-set Roman numeral indexes. This Day-Date Reference 128235, a rose gold automatic wristwatch with day and date, circa 2023, 18K rose gold case and bracelet, automatic movement, caliber 3255, with 31 jewels. Day of week window display at 12 o'clock, date display at 3 o'clock. This watch comes with paper and box.
