Rolex Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Green Ombré Diamond Dial 128238 - 2023

Rolex Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Green Ombré Diamond Dial 128238 This is it, top of the tree as far as Rolex model lines go, and has remained the King of Rolex for very good reason. With a long lineage, and a history of some of the most interesting pieces the Big R have ever produced, they're our personal favourite Rolex's and likely the watch we'd take over all others if we were to have just one. Released in 2019, the current 128238 reference is the classic 36mm, with a slightly more elegant profile than it's 118238 predecessor. The biggest change was the move to the calibre 3255, with its Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers to ensure more precise timekeeping, and being less vulnerable to magnetism and shocks, while also gaining a very useful 70 hour power reserve. This reference also introduced a number of new dial options, with this perhaps being the most sought after. Known as the green ombré (French for shaded), it has the most amazing green hue which switches from a deep green to black in low light, and a vibrant emerald-ish hue in the sun, echoing the vintage Vignette dials from the 70's. With its 10 baguette and brilliant cut diamonds set into gold hour markers, it's perhaps the most handsome combo of any in the current lineup. This particular example was first sold locally in 2023, and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition. Has clearly been worn very sparingly, and show only very light hairlines. Bezel is ultra-sharp. Caseback shows the smallest of rub marks. Please see images for full condition details. The President bracelet contains all links and will fit up to a 7.6in wrist. Shows only very light hairlines, with the clasp being extremely tight. No service history, but far too new for that. Winds smoothly, and keeping COSC time measured dial-up on a timegrapher. Under manufacturers warranty until 2028. Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, instruction booklet, warranty card dated mid 2023, green hang tag, and guarantee manual. RRP is now $82,150 AUD - save big on this near-new example.
