Rose Gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date "President" 118135 Luxury Watch Review

http://www.thewatchbox.com/watches/rolex/ 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. And this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 118135 in 18-karat Rolesor rose gold is the latest evolution of the original 36mm power watch. This Rolex Day-Date tops all: it's an 18-karat rose gold President with a matching fluted bezel, sunburst chocolate metallic dial, and complementary bolstered alligator leather strap. Combine the above with applied rose gold baton indices, a vintage-inspired “gilt” chapter ring, and matching rose gold hands, and the result is a watch that impresses even seasoned connoisseurs of the Day-Date line. Rolex launched this variant of the 36mm Day-Date at Baselworld 2013 as part of a thorough makeover of the firm’s original automatic calendar watch. The Day-Date received a kaleidoscope of color options with coordinated leather straps, and the results ranged from silly to sublime. Count this Rolex Day-Date 118135 among the latter. Its tandem of warm Rolesor rose gold and vibrant chocolate metallic “soleil” dial presents a rich image of tasteful luxury. The fluted bezel offers a dazzling array of facets that scatter light with the brilliance of inset gemstones; the “railroad” chapter ring visually unifies the inner metallic dial with the raised facets of the bezel
