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 like-new unworn condition. There is some small wear on the back of lugs due to removal of the bracelet. The MOP dial is free from cracks and appears flawless. The caseback has a full sticker still affixed, with protective plastic on it still. Bracelet is full length, unworn, and has no stretch.
Our Perspective
A truly luxurious timepiece, this Day-Date has it all with its 18kt yellow gold construction, diamond set hour markers, and incredible mother-of-pearl dial, all of which exude the very luxury that we have come to know from Rolex and their flagship model, the Day-Date.
