This super clone Day-Date 128396TBR ice blue combines the 36mm platinum case with an ice blue dial and a baguette stone-set bezel. The TBR suffix marks the stone-set tier of the Day-Date: baguette-cut stones take the place of the fluting on the bezel, and ten matching baguettes replace the applied indexes on the dial. Ice blue is the dial colour Rolex keeps for its platinum references, so the pale blue surface and the white metal read as one piece instead of a contrast pairing. Gold-coloured hands and a gold coronet are a factory choice on this build rather than a catalogue combination, and they are the quickest way to recognise it; the winding crown stays white metal. The full day display at 12 o’clock paired with the date at 3 completes the signature Day-Date functionality.

Inside the Movement

The clone Cal. 3255 handles the instantaneous day-date change at midnight, advancing both the day disc and date wheel simultaneously without any gradual transition. The barrel is rated at 70 hours and the balance runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, so the seconds hand sweeps rather than steps. This mechanism has been refined across multiple Day-Date generations and remains one of the more mechanically involved calendar complications in current production. Ice blue over platinum with a baguette bezel is a narrow slice of the range, which makes this 128396TBR configuration less common than the standard champagne or black options. Compare it against the black dial Day-Date, which swaps the cool palette for maximum contrast. Both sit within the Day-Date collection and run the same calendar architecture.

What Sets It Apart

Ice blue on platinum is a single-temperature watch. Case, bracelet, bezel stones and dial all sit on the cool side, and the only warm element is the gold-coloured handset the factory fitted. The baguette markers add brightness without competing with the dial colour, sitting as neutral points of light against the pale blue field. For buyers who want the stone-set Day-Date presence at 36mm rather than 40, this super clone Day-Date 128396TBR ice blue delivers that on the President platform.
