Rolex Day-Date – The Ultimate Watch of Prestige\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The Rolex Day-Date was<\/span> first released<\/span> in 1956 during the Baselworld Watch Show.\u00a0 <\/span>The Day-Date made its debut as the first waterproof and self-winding chronometer wristwatch to offer a modern calendar with an instantaneous day display, spelled out in full in a window on the dial, in addition to the date.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day-Date\u2019s design represents \u2018the embodiment of prestige\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s iconic <\/span>President bracelet<\/span><\/a>, with its semi-circular three-piece links, was created in 1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. It represents the ultimate in refinement and comfort and is always made of carefully selected precious metals. The Day-Date is available with a bespoke day display in a wide choice of languages. In addition, the bezel can be fluted, smooth, or gem-set arrayed in precious stones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, characterized by its semi-circular three-piece links, the President bracelet is an absolute Rolex design icon. Aside from a few precious metal Lady-Datejust models, the President bracelet is exclusive to the Day-Date collection and has been since its introduction since 1956.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The President bracelet is part and parcel of the design of the Rolex Day-Date watch. In fact, not only was this specific bracelet style created for the debut of the Day-Date, the watch itself is simply known (informally) as the Rolex President. However, Rolex does indeed make their Rolex Day-Date watch available with other bracelet styles too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The opposite of the formal and curvy President bracelet is the sporty and flat Oyster bracelet. Typically associated with sport\/professional models such as the Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master, or casual Rolex watches like the Oyster Perpetual, Date, and Air-King, the Oyster bracelet is actually the brand\u2019s most versatile bracelet \u2013 available in every metal Rolex uses and found across most Rolex collections. Whether in yellow gold, white gold, Everose gold, or platinum, the Oyster bracelet is now a standard option with the 36mm Day-Date watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

As spotted by Courtney Cox on the red carpet, pairing the Day-Date with an Oyster bracelet is a more contemporary approach to wearing one of Rolex\u2019s most classical watches.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Rolex released for the first time a batch of new Day-Date watches in 2013 with colorful leather straps. A unique occasion, clearly inspired by the vintage \u201cStella\u201d Day-Date watches with vibrant enamel dials from the 1970s, the leather strap Day-Date models come equipped with matching colorful dials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of the alligator leather straps (in colors ranging from muted black and brown to bright Bordeaux, green, and blue) is fitted with an 18k gold <\/span>Oysterclasp<\/span><\/i> buckle, which is a single folding clasp that also permits easy adjusting of the strap length. Although part of the contemporary collection, the Day-Date 36 watches with leather straps successfully capture an appealing vintage vibe.<\/span><\/p>\n
