The Rolex 128239 Day-Date Blue Ombré w/D represents the pinnacle of refined elegance within the prestigious Day-Date collection. Crafted entirely from solid 18 ct white gold, the 36 mm Oyster case delivers a balanced presence that is both sophisticated and substantial. The defining feature of this reference is its striking blue ombré dial, which transitions gradually from a lighter tone at the center to a deeper, richer shade toward the outer edge. This gradient effect creates remarkable visual depth, while diamond hour markers enhance the dial’s brilliance and underscore its unmistakable luxury. The signature day display at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock remain defining hallmarks of the iconic Day-Date lineage.
Beneath its refined exterior beats the Rolex Caliber 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement engineered for superior precision and efficiency. Offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve and certified as a Superlative Chronometer, the movement ensures exceptional performance and reliability. The watch is fitted with the renowned 18 ct white gold President bracelet, known for its semi-circular three-piece links that provide outstanding comfort and prestige. Secured by a concealed Crownclasp and offering 100 meters of water resistance, the 128239 Day-Date Blue Ombré seamlessly blends everyday practicality with elevated luxury appeal, making it a distinguished choice for collectors in Dubai and beyond.
