Rolex Day-Date

The first Day-Date, also known as the "President," was introduced in 1956 and remains Rolex's iconic status watch to this day. When Rolex introduced the Day-Date, it was the first watch to display both the day at the 12 o'clock position and the date at the 3 o'clock position simultaneously. Another hallmark of the Day-Date is the renowned President bracelet, which was introduced to the market in 1966 and has become almost as famous as the watch itself. However, the President bracelet gained its unofficial name when Rolex gifted a Day-Date to the American President Dwight Eisenhower.
