Rolex Day-Date 36mm Diamond Bezel Diamond Case White Gold 128459TBR JADE RUBY DIAMOND PINK CROCODILE

The Rolex Day-Date, introduced in 1956, established itself as the watch for accomplished individuals, instantly recognizable by its signature day display at 12 o’clock. This particular reference, 128459TBR, represents a modern execution of that legacy, utilizing rare materials for an exclusive presentation. The 36mm case and fluted bezel are crafted from 18k white gold and fully set with brilliant-cut diamonds, a substantial and technically demanding application. The dial is a key feature, carved from a single piece of natural jade, a material known for its variations and fragility during machining. This jade base is accented with applied baguette-cut ruby hour markers and diamond indexes at 6 and 9 o’clock, creating a distinct and highly sought-after aesthetic. It is presented on a factory pink crocodile leather strap with an 18k white gold Rolex buckle, completing the cohesive and limited design.

At the core of this watch is the Rolex Caliber 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement that is a current-generation standard for the collection. This movement is a Superlative Chronometer, certified by Rolex to achieve a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, a specification that exceeds typical COSC standards. The technical features include a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and a high-efficiency Chronergy escapement, which collectively provide resistance to magnetic fields and shocks while offering a 70-hour power reserve. The complications are quintessential Day-Date: an instantaneous day display at 12 o’clock in a choice of 26 languages and a date display at 3 o’clock with a Cyclops lens over the crystal. These functions are executed with reliability and clarity, underpinning the watch’s daily utility.

This specific timepiece is in mint, like-new condition, showing no visible signs of wear on the case, bezel, or lugs. The jade dial and gem settings are pristine. It is accompanied by its official Rolex warranty card, which is critical for authentication and servicing, dating its sale and confirming its legitimacy for future ownership. In the current market, a Day-Date of this specification is a highly collectible piece. The combination of a jade dial with ruby and diamond accents on a fully diamond-set white gold case is a rare configuration, not commonly available through authorized dealers. This positions the watch as a limited opportunity for a collector seeking a distinctive and documented Rolex with immediate presence and a strong value proposition, supported by the brand’s consistent market performance.
