Rolex Day Date President 40mm 228235 Rose Gold Olive Dial

Now in stock, a beautiful Rolex Day Date 40mm fashioned in Rose Gold and with the coveted Olive dial. Affectionately nicknamed the President, this watch comes as a full set with box, papers, both green and white hang tags and original purchase receipt from AD.

The Day-Date was originally designed to be a precious instrument for everyday use. Thanks to a watchmaking prowess that was unprecedented at the time, it offered a solution to those requiring complete mastery of their personal calendar: the Day-Date was the first self-winding, waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display, in addition to the date, the day of the week spelt out in full, in two separate windows. Both change simultaneously at midnight. This revolutionary switch continues to fascinate, nearly seven decades later.

Instantly recognizable, its unique design has forged its identity. At its launch, the Day-Date was the only watch with a semi-circular window at 12 o’clock displaying the day of the week spelt out in full. With its specially-designed President bracelet available only in precious metal – gold or platinum – it is the watch of prestige par excellence.
