Rolex Day Date President Watches

The very first Rolex Day-Date made its grand entrance into the watch industry back in 1956. This beautiful creation as also called the Rolex Presidential and judging from the appearance, it is clear why this honorary name was given to this stately design. You will often find this design referred to as the Rolex President or Presidential because it was particularly popular with many commanders-in-chief, starting with President Eisenhower. It also happened to be set on their signature President bracelet, which also helped contribute to its nickname. Because of this presidentially-scaled endorsement, the Rolex Day-Date has gone on to be the most popular Rolex model amongst celebrities, royalty, and everyone else in between held to a high regard. This masterpiece of a watch was originally cast in 18-carat gold and is now only sold in gold variations and platinum- it has never been produced in stainless steel which is a testament to the standard set by this world-renowned design house. It was the first watch to sport the Day-Date feature, where the day of the week was fully spelled out and visible through a window curving along the top of the dial. Today, the strong legacy of the Rolex Day-Date President continues, as it remains the preferred choice for those looking to buy a timepiece that carries status.

It succeeds the Day-Date 41mm that was introduced in 2008. Of course, the first Day-Date was the 36mm launched in 1956, which is still a much sought-after watch among devoted watch collectors. The Rolex Day-Date is an evergreen wonder and continues to reach impressive levels of popularity.
