Prices for the Rolex Day-Date watch shot up by an impressive 57 percent in August. The five listed here are the most expensive available.
is always good news, it’s also pretty fascinating when a watch shoots up in value—especially if you own one—but also because it indicates a shift in trends.
Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Regan, and Donald Trump have all worn the Day-Date while in office, and so the watch is now broadly known as the President—as is its special bracelet that is offered on other models. Until thecame out in 2012, the Day-Date had remained the most complicated watch in the Crown’s catalog, with its day of the week and date complications displayed broadly on the outside of the dial.
This example features a scarcely produced factory stone Coral dial, and it is absolutely stunning. The soft palate expressed in this stone is left unhindered by hour markers and scales, leaving just the defining day and date complications. The stone is set within a 36 mm yellow gold case in excellent, near new condition. The caseback even retains its sticker. The dial itself is the star of the show here, and it appears to be free of cracks.
This specific example again comes to use from Amsterdam Vintage Watches, and is remarkably preserved. It’s clear that this was a special watch from day-one, and while it does show signs of age, it shows very little in the way or wear and tear. The French day aperture brings a fitting final touch to this incredibly distinctive Day-Date. I absolutely love this dial and if you prefer to fly under the radar, this could be the end-game Day-Date for you.
