Rolex Day-Date President 118398

The Reference 118398 is a haute joaillerie model from the 36mm Day-Date 118xxx series, produced c. 2000-2019. The technical specification is an 18k yellow gold case (8) with a factory-set bezel containing 60 baguette-cut diamonds (39 configuration code). This bezel style represents a higher tier of gem-setting than brilliant-cut diamonds, requiring flawless clarity and precise channel setting. The watch is powered by the Caliber 3155, a 31-jewel COSC-certified chronometer with a double quickset complication. It features the modern 118xxx series case with its heavier profile and is fitted with a solid 18k yellow gold President bracelet. Its significance is as a pinnacle of Rolex’s jewelry offerings, often paired with pavé diamond dials for maximum opulence.
