Presented in 1956 with the first reference 6511, the Day-Date was the first wristwatch to show both the day of the week and the date in full on the dial.

The Rolex Day-Date created so many diverse reference model and an infinity configuration of dials from glossy dials to a different choice of stones to wood dial. Isn't as it were a timekeeping instrument but too a image of success and achievement.

Its classic design, coupled with Rolex's commitment to exactness and craftsmanship, has made it a staple within the world of luxury watches.
