This beautiful Rolex classic is wonderfully preserved and original in all parts. The dial with the discreet Roman numerals is deep black, the luminous dots are darkened. The "President" white gold bracelet presents itself in a good state of preservation. Inside is a clean Day-Date movement, calibre 3055, still with silver hairspring
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".
