Lot Essay

With its brilliantly adorned lugs, diamond-set dial, and smooth platinum bezel that adds to its sophisticated elegance, the current reference 18296 is notable for its extraordinary opulence. Its extravagant personality is further enhanced by the Rolex President bracelet, a true statement of quality and distinction.

The Day-Date, the first wristwatch to fully display the day and the date, was first introduced in 1956 and has since become an undisputed icon in the world of fine watchmaking. It has developed over the years into one of Rolex's most iconic designs, made in a variety of styles to satisfy the preferences of the most discriminating customers worldwide. The current example, which combines technological innovation with the undeniable charm of Rolex's jewelled artistry, perfectly embodies this tradition of excellence.
