This replica Day-Date 128348RBR presents the classic yellow gold configuration with a white mother of pearl dial, reference 128348RBR. Yellow gold has defined the Day-Date since its 1956 debut, and the 128348RBR takes that tradition to its most decorative point: a 36mm case, a stone-set bezel in place of the fluted one, and the signature President bracelet. The nacre dial carries baguette-cut stone markers that pick up the warm colour of the gold hands, so the whole face reads warm rather than icy. The day is spelled out in full at 12 o’clock, with the date magnified at 3.

RBR in a Rolex reference marks the stone-set bezel, which is why 128348RBR and the plain 128238 share a case but not a profile. The set bezel is slightly taller and catches light continuously, where a fluted bezel only flashes as the wrist turns.

Design & Finishing

The 128348RBR uses semi-circular lugs that curve toward the wrist, keeping the 36mm case close to the skin despite its precious-metal density. Two decorative layers meet here: the shell dial, whose iridescence shifts with every angle, and the ring of round stones around the bezel, which stays constant. The baguette markers sit between them as the only straight lines on the face. This is the single round-stone bezel in our Day-Date 36 row; the other stone-set bezels we stock use baguettes, which read as a block of light instead of a chain of points.

On the Wrist

Wearing yellow gold with a set bezel daily is a deliberate choice. The 128348RBR does not blend in or play subtle, and at 36mm the stones sit close enough together that the bezel reads as a continuous bright ring from a metre away. The President bracelet distributes the metal weight across three-piece links, keeping comfort consistent across the wrist. Our super clone runs a clone Cal. 3255 with a 70-hour power reserve at $849, and the A Grade with a Japanese automatic is $349; the case, nacre dial, set bezel and bracelet are identical on both.
