Key Brand Information
Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display both the day and date in full on the dial, earning its reputation as “the watch of presidents.” Exclusively produced in precious metals, the Day-Date epitomises Rolex’s commitment to refinement and prestige. The President bracelet, designed specifically for this model, remains one of the most recognisable and comfortable in the world of luxury watches. The 40mm version, introduced to replace the traditional 36mm size, maintains the collection’s elegant proportions while offering a more modern presence on the wrist. The green dial variation has become one of the most sought-after configurations, symbolising wealth, success, and timeless sophistication.
