Rolex’s Day-Date model is one of the most iconic and recognizable watches in the market today. First released in 1956 and still offered by the brand, the model was its most prestigious, beginning with the reference 6511, and was the first wristwatch to offer the date with day fully spelled out on the dial. Over the last seven decades, the model has retained its essential DNA, however it has evolved with more advanced calibers, case diameter modifications, addition of gems, or in the 1970s, the famed colorful “Stella” dials.

In 2008, Rolex introduced the reference 218235 Day-Date II model in a 41mm diameter case. The collection included examples in yellow gold, white gold, platinum and like the present watch, in Rolex’s proprietary Everose Gold.

The present watch is an exceptional example with a rich dark brown dial that complements the luxury feel of the Everose gold. The dial symmetry is in harmony with large Roman numerals making it easy to read the time, along with the day of the week and date in white sectors that are highly visible. The case is highlighted by the fluted bezel and Everose gold President’s bracelet. This example is offered by the original owner and is in excellent condition and accompanied by its accessories. The Day-Date is a wonderfully modern watch that can be worn by both men and women for any occasion.
