====== Rolex Day-Date 128200 ====== The **Oyster Perpetual Day-Date** is a luxury wristwatch by [[Rolex]]. It is the current smaller-sized model in the famous [[Rolex Day-Date]] line and is commonly known as the [[Rolex President]]. ===== Overview ===== The [[Rolex Day-Date|Day-Date]] line is one of the most famous watches and has long been known as the [[Rolex President|President]] due to its association with government and business leaders. The official name, Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, refers to the waterproof [[Rolex Oyster|Oyster]] case, [[Rolex Perpetual|Perpetual]] [[automatic winding]], and iconic [[day and date]] complication. The Rolex Day-Date famously places the day window in an arc at 12 00 rather than the common location "inside" the date window at 3 00 on the dial. The current Day-Date range includes this smaller 36 mm Ref. 128 as well as the larger 40 mm Ref. 228. The Ref. 128 was introduced in [[2019]], replacing the well-received [[Rolex Day-Date 118200|Ref. 118]]. The case was redesigned and the model line was simplified, and the Ref. 128 got the new [[Rolex 3255|Cal. 3255]] "3-day" movement. The President bracelet was also updated with ceramic inner pieces to control stretching. Although the Day-Date is available with a variety of bracelets, it is most closely associated with the [[Rolex President]] 3-link bracelet. Rolex also sells the previous Day-Date 36 Ref. 118 on the [[Rolex Oyster]] bracelet or a leather strap. The [[Rolex Day-Date 40|Day-Date 40]] is available on a [[Rolex Jubilee]] bracelet as well, but this is not offered on the Day-Date 36 [[as of 2019]]. **Reference: ** * * 128235 - [[Everose gold]], fluted bezel * ** 128345 - [[Everose gold]], diamond bezel * * 128238 - [[Yellow gold]], fluted bezel * ** 128348 - [[Yellow gold]], diamond bezel * * 128239 - [[White gold]], fluted bezel * ** 128349 - [[White gold]], diamond bezel **Movement: ** * [[Automatic]] Calibre [[Rolex 3255]] (bi-directional winding), 28,800 A/h * Certified [[chronometer]] ([[COSC]]) **Case:** * [[Gold]] [[Rolex Oyster]] case * Ø 36 mm * Fixed [[bezel]] (fluted) * [[Sapphire crystal]] * [[Screw-in crown]] * [[Waterproof]] to 100 m **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, seconds * Date, day of week (in all world languages) **Dial:** * Applied hour indexes in gold or diamond **Bracelet: ** * [[Rolex President]] bracelet with [[folding clasp]] {{tag>Watch_models Rolex_models Rolex_Day-Date_models}}
