THE DEFINITIVE PRESTIGE WATCH

In 1956 Rolex Day-Date debuted. Available exclusively in 18-carat gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the entire week at a window in the dial. Equipped with a President bracelet, created specifically for this model, the Day-Date remains the quintessential watch of the most influential personalities.
