A fine and rare 18K yellow gold self-winding wristwatch with wood dial, day, date, center seconds, and 18K yellow gold President bracelet.

Few timepieces capture the spirit of 1970s luxury quite like the Rolex Day-Date with wood dial, a fascinating union of precious metal and natural material, where opulence meets organic warmth. Each dial, crafted from thin slices of exotic hardwood such as burl or mahogany, was meticulously selected and hand-finished, ensuring that no two examples were ever identical.

Encased in Rolex’s signature 18K yellow gold and paired with the distinguished President bracelet, the watch exudes quiet grandeur, a symbol of refined power and taste. The contrast between the deep, natural grain of the dial and the radiant polish of the gold case evokes a harmony rarely achieved in watch design.

The present example stands as a superb representation of this rare and charismatic variation of the Day-Date, a model that transcends its era to embody the artistry, innovation, and daring elegance of Rolex’s golden age.
