Rolex "Oyster Perpetual DAY-DATE Superlative Chronometer officially certified", Movement No. DD307852, Case No. 3177764, Ref. 1803, Cal. 1556, 36 mm, circa 1972
A rare automatic white gold vintage wristwatch with brilliant-cut diamond indexes, date and weekday indicator in German writing
Case: 18k white gold, screw back ref. 1803, screwed "Twinlock" winding crown. Dial: silvered, "sigma dial", brilliant-cut diamond indexes.
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.
