The Day-Date will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2026 and remains a truly prestigious icon. This particular example is crafted in 18k yellow gold and features a beautifully executed fluted bezel.

The watch houses a rare matte warm grey pie-pan dial with applied stick hour markers and crisp white Arabic numerals printed on the outer track—simply superb. The creamy day-disc is in English.

It is fitted with the pictured Bulang & Sons leather strap, complemented by an original 18k yellow gold Rolex pin buckle. The slow-set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
