A yellow gold Day-Date is the epitome of what a Rolex should be, or at least solely when looking at the brand’s precious-metal offerings at least. Iconic by its name and look, the Day-Date was launched by Rolex in 1956 and has remained one of the brand’s signature watches ever since. It’s seen a few sizes throughout its lifespan, but these modern 40mm variants seem to be some of the most popular yet. Available in a range of precious metals, it’s the yellow gold variant being offered here which is synonymous with the model and certainly one of, if not the most popular case metal thanks to the elegant chic of such alloy. When pairing its 18ct yellow gold case with its matching-coloured champagne sunray finish dial and president bracelet, there really is nothing quite like this watch on the wrist. Away from the aesthetic qualities of the watch, there is the addition of the incredible calibre 3255 movement within which enables the wearer to imminently view the time, date and day of the week at a glance. Extremely easy to set, whilst also being waterproof to 100m thanks to its oyster case, the Day-Date 40 truly is a superb offering and is a watch that deserves to sit within almost anyone’s collection.
