Few references in the Day-Date lineage pair warm tones as masterfully as the 128238 with its rose gold sunburst dial. Introduced as part of Rolex’s current-generation Day-Date 36 family, this replica recreates the interplay between yellow gold case metal and the blush-colored face — a combination that has made the original a staple at formal gatherings and boardrooms alike.

The 128238 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 36mm case retains the classic Day-Date proportions that have defined presidential wristwear since 1956. Yellow gold plating covers every surface — from the fluted bezel to the lug tips — while the rose gold sunburst dial provides a warm, shifting tonality depending on ambient light. Diamond-set hour markers add dimensionality without overwhelming the face.
The three-link President bracelet sits flush against the case, its semi-circular links polished to mirror the case finish. A concealed Crown clasp keeps the profile sleek and uninterrupted. Explore the full Day-Date collection for additional dial and material combinations.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
This Day-Date 128238 replica ships with your choice of two automatic movements, each calibrated for day and date complications:
- Swiss Automatic — Caliber 3255-series at 28,800 vph, approximately 70-hour power reserve. Smooth sweep, reliable long-term accuracy, and quickset day-date adjustment.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — 21,600 vph with ~42-hour power reserve. Widely serviceable by independent watchmakers, strong durability for daily wear.
Both options feature hacking seconds and bidirectional winding for efficient energy storage.
