Introduced in 2008, the Rolex Day-Date II has an immediate major aesthetic change that any collector can identify right away, its size. Measuring 41 millimeters in diameter, the automatic cal. 3156 movement housed in a platinum case truly embodies the class and beauty of the model line while also embracing the modern trend to increase the diameter of wristwatches. Released in addition to its 36 millimeter sibling, the Day-Date II offers another option for people who prefer to wear a larger timepiece.
The model line was released in four metal configurations, yellow, white, and pink gold, as well as platinum, which we see from the current example. The Day-Date II was in production for only 7 years until it was discontinued in 2015 and replaced with the slightly smaller 40 mm Day-Date.
The present lot is a fine example and in very good condition. It is accompanied by its Rolex Service Card confirming it was serviced by the brand in 2022.
