Notes

Commonly called the “President” the Rolex Day-Date earned this nickname from a smart marketing move by the brand. Gifting a Day-Date to Dwight Eisenhower back then president of the United States of America. The present Rolex Day-Date is really precious because of the platinum material and the factory diamond bezel.
The radical dial donates a warmer appeal to such a valuable piece.
