Rolex Day-Date Light Blue Dial

Rolex Day-Date
The Ultimate Status Symbol in Timekeeping

The Rolex Day-Date is a flagship model in Rolex’s collection, first introduced in 1956. It was the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full through separate apertures on the dial — a groundbreaking innovation at the time. 

Key Features:

• Case Sizes: Available in 36mm and 40mm Oyster cases, ensuring both classic and modern wrist presence.

• Materials: Made only in high-value materials – never stainless steel.

• Dial Variants: A wide variety of dials, from classic champagne and silver to exotic stones like malachite, onyx, or meteorite.

• Day Display: Full day of the week at 12 o'clock, available in over 25 languages.

• Bracelet: The signature President bracelet, with semi-circular three-piece links, combines elegance and comfort.

• Movement: Powered by Rolex’s in-house automatic movements, such as the Caliber 3255, offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve and COSC-certified precision.

• Water Resistance: Rated up to 100 meters (330 feet) thanks to the Oyster case construction.

Why It's Iconic:
The Day-Date is a symbol of prestige and influence, worn by presidents, dignitaries, and successful individuals worldwide — hence the nickname “President Watch.” Its distinguished appearance and association with leadership make it one of the most recognizable luxury watches ever made.
