1988 Rolex Day-Date President with Blue Vignette Dial

The Drop

A Timeless Icon of Status and Style

Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date President has become the brand’s emblem of status and sophistication. Crafted exclusively in precious metals, few luxury watches rival the Rolex President in prestige, quality, and timeless appeal. Upon its release, the Day-Date was the first watch to feature the full day of the week at 12 o’clock alongside a date window at 3 o’clock. Another defining feature is its iconic bracelet, known as the President bracelet, with its distinctive semi-circular links that have become as celebrated as the watch itself.

In classic Rolex style, the Day-Date has preserved its original essence, with only subtle technical upgrades and design refinements over the years. Today, we take a closer look at the evolution of the legendary Rolex Day-Date, affectionately known as the President.
