about the watch

The Rolex Day Date, also known as the "presidents’ watch," is a legendary and highly prestigious model in Rolex's rich history. Unlike the sport models, the Rolex Day Date screams luxury. Always produced in full white, yellow, or rose gold, it is a perfect daily, especially this white gold version, being more discreet while retaining all the caracteristics that make this such a legendary timepiece. The 18039, the first 5-digit reference, saw the introduction of the single quickset for the date, which provides a practical benefit without compromising the watch's vintage aesthetic. With its heavy and warm presence on the wrist, wearing this watch is a statement in itself. A Day Date description would be incomplete without mentioning the defining feature that sets it apart from other watches: the iconic president bracelet. The fact that a model is named after its bracelet speaks for itself. If the pictures did not convince you on why this bracelet is so special, we encourage you to wear a Day Date, and everything will be clearer.

This specific piece is fully original, with its dial that developed a charming patina. The president bracelet, case, and dial are all in fantastic condition. More than the overall superb condition of the watch, the weight of the full 18-carat white gold makes it a pleasure to wear.

The case has a lot of material, which is a good sign that the watch has probably been lightly refreshed (no heavy polishing) only once in its life. This is even more spectacular when you consider that the watch is almost 40 years old and fully made of 18-carat white gold.

The bracelet is the original president bracelet. It has no stretch.

The watch is sold alone, without box or papers. We provide a Veritas travelling pouch.

The movement is the original caliber 3055, which runs perfectly well.
