The 118388 is the yellow-gold high-jewellery Day-Date 36, the one where Rolex sets the lugs as well as the bezel. Underneath the stones it is an ordinary [[Reference:118238|118238]]: the same 36mm case, the same caliber 3155, the same President bracelet. What separates it is a double row of brilliants around the bezel and a further run of stones down the lug flanks, so the diamonds wrap the case instead of sitting in a ring on top of it. That single detail is also what distinguishes it from the 118348, its plain-lugged sibling, and the two get confused constantly. The dial catalogue is the other reason to look: the gem-set references carry configurations that never appear on the plain Day-Dates, including jade carousel dials in green and lavender.
