This beautiful classic Rolex watch is a marvel to behold. The silver dial is in perfect condition; the case and the long white gold "President" bracelet are immaculate. The watch is powered by an impeccable day date movement calibre 1556.
The name of this model explains its two main functions – the date under the Cyclops lens and the large window for the day of the week at 12 o’clock. The Rolex Day-Date is also known as the "Rolex President". Whereas other models such as Datejust, Submariner and Daytona are available in stainless steel too, the Day-Date was only ever produced in gold or platinum.
