Since its introduction in the 1950s the luxurious and elegant Rolex Day-Date is a popular model in the product line of the traditional company and a wristwatch icon today. The so-called presidential watch was made exclusively of precious metals.
The Day-Date we have here dates back to 1974 and has an 18K white gold case. The super-elegant Argenté step dial features 8 round-cut diamonds and 2 baguette-cut diamonds to mark the hours. The day of the week at 12 o'clock is displayed in German.
On the wrist, the Day-Date offers an understated yet luxurious look. This is created thanks to the authentic patina of the classic silver dial and thanks to the luxurious diamond setting. And then there's the beautiful solid white gold presidential bracelet and elegant white gold bezel.
