Rolex Day-Date President 18369

The Reference 18369 is a rare, factory gem-set model from the 36mm Day-Date 18xxx series, produced c. 1988-2000. The technical specification is an 18k white gold case (9) with a unique “quadrant” bezel configuration denoted by the 36 code. This bezel is factory-set with 44 brilliant-cut diamonds and is distinguished by four baguette-cut precious gems (typically sapphires or rubies) at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. This complex, multi-gem setting is a significant display of Rolex’s jewelry craftsmanship. The watch is powered by the Caliber 3155 double quickset movement. This reference is significant for its artistic design and rarity, particularly in the more understated white gold metal.
