Catalogue Note

Rolex’s “President” watch, commonly known as the Day-Date, is one of the brands most sought after models. The present watch is fitted with a rare bullseye hardstone dial that has a strong mahogany, brown color. With a flick of the wrist, the dial would glow with exceptional depth and shades of color. Furthermore, the timeless yellow gold oyster case and diamond-set numerals perfectly complement the dial and complete this very unique Day-Date.
