Watchuwant is now WatchBox! Subscribe for the best luxury watch content. The Rolex Day-Date "President" is an icon that transcends time and fashion. Little changed since its 1956 debut, the Day-Date is the flagship of the Rolex model line. Think about that; the ultimate watch in the world's most coveted watch lineup. This one tops all: it's an 18-karat yellow gold President with a lacquered black dial graced with inset factory diamonds. Combine the above with 18-karat yellow gold matching hands, and the result is a watch that impresses even seasoned connoisseurs of the Day-Date line. Rolex's lacquered dials are exquisite pieces. The cellulose-based compound dries to a gleaming luster; each finished piece has the depth and drama of fresh paint on a Chip Foose hotrod. A Rolex "President" bracelet in matching 18-karat yellow gold features the famous three-link design and seamless Crownclasp. The only cue as to the location of the clasp is a discreet five-point Rolex coronet that can be used to open the mechanism. Inside the belly of the beast, an automatic Rolex caliber 3055 provides chronometer-grade timing accuracy with Rolex durability. The convenient single-quickset feature enables a user to set the date indication from the second crown position without endlessly cycling the hands. This movement also became the first Rolex Day-Date movement to operate at a modern 28,800 VpH, and the benefit is greater resistance to shock-induced timing errors. This Rolex Day Date 18038
