For sale is a Platinum Rolex Day-Date 36mm Ref. 18346 with a Factory Diamond Bezel and Ice Blue Roman Numeral Dial.
President:
The ‘Day-Date’ is often referred to as the "President" watch due to its association with global leaders and influential figures. It is also referred to as such due to its President bracelet which has become an instantly recognizable feature, contributing to the Day-Date's identity as a watch associated with leadership and prominence.
The President bracelet is fitted with the Crownclasp, which features a hidden clasp design. This ensures that when the bracelet is fastened, the clasp is nearly invisible, providing an uninterrupted, sleek look.
Platinum:
This specific model, the 18346, adds a layer of prestige, being crafted wholly from platinum, which is heavier and more valuable than gold. Not to mention that Platinum Day-Dates are produced in the smallest quantities in comparison to other precious metals.
Diamond Bezel:
Additionally it features a factory-set diamond bezel, created using the finest quality diamonds. Each diamond is hand-selected and meticulously set by Rolex’s expert gemologists, ensuring that only the best stones make it onto their watches.
The diamonds are graded for color, clarity, and cut, ensuring they meet Rolex’s high standards for brilliance and symmetry. Rolex only uses internally flawless diamonds with the highest color grades.
The stones are set with precise alignment, creating a seamless look around the bezel that enhances the overall elegance of the watch.
Dial:
The watch comes fitted with a factory sunburst ice-blue dial, a distinctive colour which Rolex reserves only for watches made from platinum, seperating them from seemingly similar white gold options.
Platinum’s naturally silver tone complements the cool hue of the ice blue dial, creating a harmonious and distinguished look that only a platinum Rolex can achieve.
As with all Day-Date models, the dial displays both the day of the week (spelled out in full at the 12 o’clock position) and the date at 3 o’clock. This dual display feature, first introduced in the Day-Date collection, remains one of the most iconic aspects of the watch.
Movement:
The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3155, a self-winding mechanical movement that provides exceptional precision and reliability.
It includes the quickset feature, allowing the wearer to easily adjust both the day and date functions independently.
The watch is in overall excellent condition, in full working order and sold with the original platinum Day-Date box.
This exceptional piece is unlikely to sit around for very long for obvious reasons, so don’t miss out on the chance to add this platinum 18346 to your collection!
