The Day-Date, Rolex’s first timepiece to display a separate day and date feature, was launched in 1956 and is one of the firm’s most iconic models. Throughout its production, it was available in multiple variances with examples adorned with precious stones, lacquered or hardstone dials.
The present wristwatch is offered in very good overall condition. It is cased in 18k white gold and features a superb yellow mother-of-pearl dial with Roman numerals. Wristwatches with mother-of-pearl dials were usually produced in a limited number of examples, due to the difficulty of working such a fragile material as well as keeping the high Rolex standards of quality.
