New and Preowned Rolex Day-Date Watches

The Presidents' Watch Legacy

Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date became a milestone for the brand's haute horlogerie expertise. It was the world's first wristwatch displaying the day of the week spelled out in full alongside the date complication. The Presidential Day Date, as the collection popularly came to be known, emerged organically when world leaders —including President Dwight D. Eisenhower and President Lyndon B. Johnson— picked this model as their timepiece of choice.

A major distinction between the Day Date Role and other models is its exclusive construction in precious metals only. Unlike other popular collections like the Submariner or GMT-Master, Day Date timepieces are not available in stainless steel. Also, the distinctive semi-circular three-piece links and hidden Crownclasp were designed specifically for this collection and remain its signature design element.

Current Day-Date Collection Highlights

Rolex Day Date watches grace the wrists of presidents, CEOs, and cultural icons. For seven decades, this collection has maintained its reputation of being Rolex's most prestigious model. The collection is designed to fit the requirements of most individuals.
