Debuted in 1956, the Rolex President Day-Date is indeed an icon of the luxury watch industry.
It was the first watch to showcase the day of the week and also the date of the month.
Rolex has made several improvements to the Day-Date over the years.
However, the most significant upgrade came with the launch of the Rolex President reference 18238 in the 1980s.
Let’s today explore some interesting facts about this legend of the luxury watch industry.
The Rolex Day-Date has flaunted the wrist of U.S. Presidents and many notable personalities alike.
While the watch got directly associated with elegance and power, the Day-Date eventually got its nickname “President”.
And, the day of the week is showcased between 11 and 1 markers. Interestingly, the day is written in twenty-six different languages.
With the powerful perpetual Calibre 3155 movement, the reference 18238 ameliorated the total mechanical mastery of the Day-Date.
Moreover, Rolex fitted this perpetual movement with splendid Double-Quickset function.
Rolex still uses this efficient and straightforward Double-Quickset function.
