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.
