Description

Our favourite model, the Day Date comes in numerous special dial variants including Stella, Stone and diamond dials. One of the very striking but fairly undervalued dials is the Vignette dial with degrading colors. This particular dial does not only have a standard diamond setting but the 48 diamonds are aligned in a string along the hour markers. The string of diamonds is especially brilliant and eye-catching backed by the dark blue of the vignette dial.

THE DAY-DATE 1956

In 1956, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date made its debut. Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. With the President bracelet, originally created specially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people.

LEADERSHIP

Rolex watches have long been associated with those who have, over time, guided the destiny of the world. No matter their vision, their domain of excellence, or their achievements, the one thing these exceptional men and women have in common is often their watch: the Day-Date.
