Launched in 1956, the Day-Date is often seen worn by political leaders, gaining itself the nickname "president's watch". The present reference 6611B is distinguished as one of the rarest Day-Date examples, highlighted by its white gold case and diamond-set indexes. Featuring a reeded bezel and a pie-pan dial, it proudly displays an Italian language calendar for the day of the week, characterizing itself with a mid-century charm.
