Rolex Day-Date President 18349

The Reference 18349 is the 18k white gold counterpart to the yellow gold 18348, produced during the 18xxx series era (c. 1988-2000). The technical specification, denoted by the 349 suffix, is a 36mm case in 18k white gold, with both the bezel and the case lugs being factory-set with brilliant-cut diamonds. This dual-location gem-setting on a white gold watch creates a monochromatic, yet highly luxurious, aesthetic. The watch is powered by the Caliber 3155 double quickset movement. The significance of this reference lies in its rarity and its status as a discreet “ice” model, offering the high carat weight of a top-tier jewelry piece without the chromatic contrast of yellow gold, appealing to a specific niche of high-end collectors.
