Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 128236 Platinum with Ombré Blue Dial & Fluted Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 128236 in 950 Platinum stands at the absolute summit of the Day-Date lineage—a piece reserved for collectors who seek the most exclusive expression of Rolex craftsmanship. Platinum models occupy a category of their own within the catalog, and this configuration showcases the metal’s unmistakable presence with a dial design that is equally commanding.

Its Ombré Blue Dial transitions from a radiant, icy blue center to a deep midnight perimeter, producing a gradient effect that feels both modern and timeless. This dial style is unique to platinum Day-Date references, underscoring the rarity of the watch and the meticulous artistry behind its creation. Applied Roman numerals in polished white gold anchor the dial with a refined architectural structure.

The watch is framed by a Platinum Fluted Bezel—a detail once exclusive to yellow, white, and Everose gold, now re-engineered in platinum at immense difficulty. Its sharply cut facets reflect light with a crisp, icy brilliance that differs from any gold variant.

Completing the piece is the signature President bracelet, crafted entirely from platinum and engineered for exceptional comfort with its semi-circular links. The bracelet’s weight, solidity, and velvety finish immediately communicate the prestige associated with Rolex’s most precious metal.

The Day-Date 36 Ref. 128236 with Ombré Blue Dial is a statement of absolute mastery—combining precious metal rarity, dial artistry, and mechanical excellence in a form recognized worldwide as the apex of Rolex elegance.
