Lot Essay

Very rare and sought-after, the present Day-Date features a deep blue lapis lazuli dial, a favorite gem of Egyptian pharaohs and Royal dynasties throughout history for its is richness and depth. The stone has natural inclusions which add a subtle yet pleasing flair to the watch, as if one were looking at the night sky.

The Rolex Day-Date
As the name suggests, the Rolex Day-Date was the first wristwatch to have a day and date indicator. Launched in 1956, the iconic model quickly became the flagship of the brand and was almost exclusively constructed in precious metal. Precise engineering and ingenuity helped the watch surpass its competitors by instantaneously changing day and date at midnight. The Day-Date is often referred to as the 'President', due to the bracelet stylization. It has and will continue accompanying the wrists of the most important and influential people in society.
