The early 1960’s also saw the creation of ostentatious diamond dials and examples with Eastern Arabic numerals made for wealthy Middle Eastern clients.
Early dials could be gilt, honeycomb-patterned, dials with special finishing or extraordinary indexes.
With different dial versions Rolex created collections within this collection. What makes Day-Date models truly stand out are their dials. Not only by collectors but by just about anyone who can afford one, it is a status symbol you can wear on your wrist. Made available only in precious metals and equipped with the newly developed President bracelet, the Day-Date would go on to become the watch you’d expect to see on the wrists of heads of states, celebrities, and assorted royalty around the world.Įven though they are manufactured in large numbers the Day-Date still remains a highly covetable object. Introduced at the Basel Fair in 1956, the Day-Date was launched as Rolex’s flagship model.
