Notes

Tridor The mix of the three main colors of gold was considered very chic in the 1980s. To present the trends,Rolex introduces the « Tridor » version in the Day-Date collection. Tridor version was actually crafted 3 different types of gold: yellow gold bezel, white gold case and a President bracelet fused with yellow, white and pink gold meticulously fused together to produce straight lines through the entire length of the bracelet, offering a very unique look. The Tridor was eventually discontinued in the early 2000s.
