Though Rolex has created several iconic model lines across its illustrious history, the brand’s undisputed flagship range will always be the Day-Date. The watch of choice of presidents and other public figures across the world, from Lyndon B. Johnson to Bruno Mars, the Day-Date has certainly cemented its footing as a true status symbol.

The present watch, only available upon special request, has several features which elevates it above standard production models. Perhaps the most instantly eye-catching of which is the dial, made out of eisenkiesel hardstone and reminiscent of both historic hardstone dial Day-Dates. Set atop the dial are gorgeous baguette diamond indexes which compliment the dial beautifully. Finally, the watch is cased in a diamond-set Everose gold case, rounding off a truly spectacular and extremely rare iteration of a classic Rolex model.
