The Rolex Day-Date is the ultimate symbol of prestige. Introduced in 1956, it was the first watch to display both the date and the day of the week in full. Crafted exclusively from precious metals, the Day-Date is known as the “President’s Watch.” It has graced the wrists of world leaders, celebrities, and trendsetters. With its signature fluted bezel, elegant dial variations, and iconic President bracelet, the Day-Date represents luxury at its finest. Whether worn for business or formal occasions, it exudes sophistication and timeless appeal.
The Day-Date 1803, produced from the 1960s to the 1970s, is one of the most sought-after vintage models. It features a fluted bezel, pie-pan dial, and a variety of dial colors and materials. Available in yellow, white, or rose gold, it offers collectors a piece of Rolex history. Its timeless design and association with power make it a classic.
The Day-Date 18238, introduced in the late 1980s, refined the classic design with modern improvements. It features a sapphire crystal for added durability and the reliable Caliber 3155 movement. With its single quickset date function and luxurious 18k gold construction, it remains a favorite among collectors. The 18238 offers the perfect balance of tradition and innovation.
The Day-Date 228238 represents the latest evolution of this legendary timepiece. Released in 2015, it features a 40mm case, updated proportions, and the advanced Caliber 3255 movement. With a 70-hour power reserve and refined President bracelet, it delivers both comfort and performance. Available in a range of dial styles, it remains the ultimate expression of prestige.
