Description

Rolex introduced the Day-Date President in 1956. It was the first watch to feature the day of the week written in full at 12 o’clock along with the date window at 3 o’clock. And it came on the iconic ‘President’ bracelet which, till date, is made only in precious metals which is Gold and Platinum. While the design has stayed pretty much the same for over 6 decades, Rolex has made incremental technical advancements enhancing the comfort and the reliability of the watch.
The timeless classic continues to be the ultimate status watch.

The present reference is the Rolex Day-Date 128235-0041 with a 36mm rose gold monobloc and a fluted bezel. This surrounds a beautiful handmade Eisenkiesel dial with 18 ct gold roman indexes set with 32 diamonds. We will all agree that this is gorgeous!

On this dial, the date window is located at 3 o’clock and the day window at 12 o’clock are also known as the « Day-Date » feature since 1956.

A self-winding movement with a power-reserve of 70 hours is hidden under the monobloc.

The full rose gold « President » bracelet with a folding Crown clasp will let you enjoy this beauty.

The company is owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, a family private trust.
One story, never confirmed by Wilsdorf, recounts that the name came from the French phrase horlogerie exquise, meaning “exquisite clockwork”.
