Crafted entirely from solid 18k white gold, this exceptional model pairs timeless design with cutting-edge mechanical performance.

At the heart of this stunning watch is the highly sought-after olive green sunburst dial, a sophisticated tone that shifts beautifully under changing light conditions. The dial features finely finished hour markers and Rolex’s iconic day display at 12 o’clock and date aperture at 3 o’clock, magnified by the signature Cyclops lens for optimal readability. The harmonious layout reflects the refined aesthetic that has defined the Day-Date collection since its introduction in 1956.

Encased in a 40mm Oyster case, the watch offers a commanding yet elegant presence on the wrist. The case is paired with Rolex’s signature fluted bezel, meticulously crafted in white gold, creating a brilliant play of light and adding a distinctive visual identity recognized worldwide.

Powering the watch is the advanced Rolex Caliber 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This state-of-the-art movement incorporates Rolex’s Chronergy escapement, delivering outstanding efficiency, shock resistance, and reliability. The movement provides an impressive 70-hour power reserve and is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, guaranteeing precision of −2/+2 seconds per day after casing.

The timepiece is fitted with the iconic President bracelet, also crafted from solid 18k white gold. Featuring semi-circular three-piece links, the bracelet is both visually distinctive and exceptionally comfortable. It is secured by the elegant concealed Crownclasp, maintaining a seamless and luxurious appearance.

Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch is built for durability while maintaining refined aesthetics. The case is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), ensuring everyday versatility while preserving its luxurious character.
