This Day-Date retains a marvellous and perfect dial which still has all the luminous dots. It also features a circular 5-minute display around the outer edge. The movement is clean and fitted with a blue hairspring.
The name of the Rolex Day-Date 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".
