Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 118398BR Yellow Gold with Green Enamel Dial and Baguette Diamond Bezel

Founded in 1905, Rolex has built its reputation on precision, durability, and consistent innovation, becoming one of the most influential and recognizable watch manufacturers in the world. The brand is known for producing robust, in-house movements and for setting industry standards in areas such as water resistance, chronometric accuracy, and long-term reliability. Beyond its technical achievements, Rolex has cultivated a distinct design language that balances functionality with prestige, making its watches equally respected as professional instruments and symbols of achievement.

The Day-Date occupies a unique position within the Rolex collection as the brand’s flagship model, exclusively crafted in precious metals and instantly recognizable by its full day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock. Reference 118398BR represents a highly unusual and exceptionally rare execution of the Day-Date, combining an 18k yellow gold case and bracelet with a factory green enamel dial and factory-set baguette diamond bezel. Produced in extremely limited numbers and often reserved for special clients, this reference exemplifies the upper echelon of Rolex craftsmanship, meaningfully blending technical mastery, rarity, and distinctive design within one of the brand’s most prestigious models.

Key Details To Consider

This exceptionally rare Rolex Day-Date Ref. 118398BR is presented in outstanding, never polished condition and remains fully factory original throughout. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the 36mm case retains very sharp, thick lugs with minimal signs of wear, preserving its original lines and finish. At its center is a striking factory green enamel dial set with diamond hour markers, offered in immaculate condition and rarely seen in this configuration.

Complementing the dial is an equally rare factory-set baguette diamond bezel, preserved in pristine condition and adding a bold yet refined presence to the watch. According to provenance, this piece was purchased new by a VIP Rolex client and carefully worn, making it a single-owner example that is virtually impossible to source today. Its configuration suggests a special order or limited production run.

The solid gold President bracelet remains in superb condition with no visible stretch and currently fits a 19cm wrist, with additional links available upon request. The watch is accompanied by its original box and European Rolex papers dated 2016, further reinforcing its collectability. A highly sought-after and visually arresting Day-Date that stands among the most uncommon modern Rolex references.
