The reference 18346 combines the heaviest and most noble of metals with a factory-set diamond dial and bezel, creating a configuration that was produced in exceptionally small numbers. This 1989 example also houses the then new Caliber 3155, which introduced the highly practical \"double quickset\" feature, allowing both the day and date to be set independently. This is not just a luxury watch, it is the ultimate execution of Rolex’s most prestigious creation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Statement Of Understated Power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat makes a platinum and diamond Day-Date so compelling is its discretion. Unlike yellow gold, platinum has a subtle, cool tone that allows the factory-set diamonds to enhance the watch without being overt. The weight is the primary giveaway, a dense and substantial feeling on the wrist that can only come from solid platinum. This reference represents a very specific type of luxury, one that is understood by those who know, rather than announced to everyone in the room. It is a quiet assertion of having reached the absolute top.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Exceptionally Preserved Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis piece is in very good condition. The unpolished platinum case is strong and the dial is perfect. The crystal is flawless.

A factory-set, double quickset platinum Day-Date is a genuinely scarce piece, representing the best of what Rolex was capable of producing at the end of the 1980s. It combines major technical innovation with the highest level of material execution. For the person who wants a single watch that says everything without saying a word, there is simply no substitute.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18346\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Day-Date\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory Diamond Set\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Platinum President\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Sunburst Diamond\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Platinum\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Service Papers\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1527\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55506160288035,"sku":"11527","price":32500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF3672_66f8f8f8-c221-468e-9091-1eb0b5614b2d.jpg?v=1787595992","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1989-rolex-day-date-18346-platinum-diamond-bezel-silver-dial-diamond-indices","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
