Introduction
A legendary timepiece with an unrivaled history, the Rolex Day-Date has earned its place as "The Ultimate Watch of Prestige" from its decades on the wrists of the world's most influential people. Released in 1956, the Day-Date quickly became synonymous with luxury, prestige, and exclusivity thanks to being the watch of choice for the world's athletes, visionaries, and world leaders alike. Only ever constructed of precious metals, the Day-Date's aesthetic is that of sheer elegance and grace. Aside from the beautiful array of dial options that have been available over the decades, the Day-Date's most iconic piece of design is its three-piece "Presidential" or "President" bracelet. Forming the bedrock of its design, the Presidential bracelet has become synonymous with Rolex's flagship collection and their desire to create the very best and most iconic watches that the world has ever seen. With its timeless design and inescapable impact on horology, the Day-Date stands as a vivid reminder of just how successful they have been in realizing that very mission.

Condition
Watch is in very good to excellent condition. Dial is blemish free. There are minor abrasions on the surface of the band and clasp, but the lugs are thick and full, and the bezel is sharp. There is a total of 19 links in the bracelet, and there is little stretch. Please note at time of purchase the model number "1803" was written on the guarantee paper instead of the serial number.
Our Perspective
A flagship watch for good reason, the Day-Date was instrumental in enabling Rolex to establish themselves as a true luxury watchmaker - a reputation they continue to build upon today.
