The collection

Day-Date

The gold and platinum Rolex that spells the day of the week out in full

The Day-Date arrived in 1956 as the first wristwatch to show the day of the week spelled out in full, in an arched window at 12, with the date at 3. Rolex builds it in 18 ct gold or platinum rather than steel, and it introduced the bracelet of three rounded links that took the President name from 1957 onward. The fluted bezel is the usual choice, with smooth and gem set versions alongside it. It runs in 36 mm and 40 mm today, and the day disc is offered in a choice of languages.

Sizes in the family

36 mm and 40 mm current, with a 41 mm generation between 2008 and 2015

Who it suits

Suits a buyer who wants their Rolex in precious metal and formal by default rather than a steel sports watch.
