Roman - The Day Date comes in a universe of dial configurations, here is a truly classic one. The Roman numerals give the watch a really dressy look however given the nature of the Day Date model itself it will serve you in any occasion. The condition on this one is crazy. The seemingly unpolished case still shows the original factory finishing and proportions are impeccable. The gold material is showing an overall patina with a rosy hue making us guess that the watch hasn't seen much wrist time at all. The bracelet is equally in mint condition and hardly showing any stretch from age. Finally the watch comes with its original paperwork. You don't need a loupe to see that this watch remains in absolute high quality.

Brief History
Rolex Day-Date
Arguably one of the most iconic watches ever made, the Day-Date aka the Rolex President was introduced in 1956 and was the first to feature both the day and date in dedicated windows on the dial.
The Day-Date is the top model in the Rolex line-up and comes in an array of configurations with rare and special dials and case decorations. It has only ever been made in precious metals with Automatic movements and historically with an elegant diameter of 36mm - the perfect size for an iconic dress watch.
