Rolex Day-Date 36 White Gold 118209 – 2001

Rolex Day-Date 36 (Ref. 118209) – Understatement in solid White Gold

This Rolex Day-Date 36 from the year 2001 is the perfect choice for connoisseurs who appreciate the luxury of the “Presidential Watch” but prefer a discreet appearance. Crafted from solid 18-carat White Gold, the reference 118209 impresses with its rare, polished domed bezel, which gives the watch a more modern and minimalist aesthetic than the classic fluted version.

Noble Materiality & Design

The 36 mm case fits perfectly on any wrist thanks to its harmonious proportions. Since Rolex operates its own gold foundry, the White Gold of this timepiece retains its distinctive, deep shine even after decades. The dial proudly displays the iconic full Weekday indication at 12 o’clock as well as the Date at 3 o’clock – the features that made this model line legendary.

Mechanical Mastery

Inside the case works the proven manufacture caliber 3155. This certified chronometer movement features a practical double quickset function, allowing both the Weekday and the Date to be set quickly and independently. The construction is designed for maximum durability and precision, protected by a screw-down Twinlock crown.

Highest Wearing Comfort

The watch is worn on a matching bracelet made of solid White Gold, known for its substantial weight and secure handling. With the concealed Crownclasp folding clasp, the bracelet appears as an endless unit on the wrist. The reference 118209 from 2001 marks the transition to the modern case shape with polished lugs, offering the ideal balance between vintage charm and contemporary quality.
