Replica Rolex Day-Date 228239 36mm Mother of Pearl Dial

Mother of pearl at 36 mm

This is the smaller, yellow-tone take on a mother-of-pearl Day-Date. In the macro shot (photo 09) the white dial shows soft grey shading, with eight round stones in raised settings and two baguettes, at 6 and 9. The day window is at 12, the date at 3. At 36 mm it sits between our ladies’ watches and the 40 mm models; for the larger case, see the 40 mm mother-of-pearl 228238 with baguette stones.
