Rolex Day-Date 118388: Diamond Details and Bracelet Style

This Day-Date feature was originally published as a 2022 style selection. Its subject remains the decorated watch shown in the gallery, rather than a claim about today's most popular Rolex. Stones cover the dial and continue onto the bezel, lugs and center links of the bracelet.

A Familiar Calendar with a Different Finish

The day window at twelve and magnified date at three remain easy to locate within the patterned surface. Dark Roman numerals provide contrast. Rolex's Day-Date overview describes the collection's calendar layout and precious metal tradition; those general facts do not establish the originality of an individual watch's setting.

The Bracelet Is Part of the Design

The President bracelet's rounded three link structure is visible in the side and clasp photographs. Here, the center links carry rows of stones, while polished outer links create a border. Compare the watch from the side as well as straight on to judge how prominent that treatment feels.

Buying the Individual Example

The original feature identifies reference 118388. Confirm the reference, metal and each gem set component with the seller's records, including whether any part has been modified. Ask about service history and check bracelet length and wear before deciding.

An automatic mechanical watch can need winding after its reserve runs down; it is not maintenance free. Contact our team for the details and availability of a comparable Day-Date.
