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". 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.
