圖錄文章
Released as the successor to the iconic ref. 1800 series, Rolex introduced the ref. 18000 series in 1977 featuring new upgrades while retaining its signature charm. In 1988, Rolex replaced the ref. 18000 series with the new ref. 18200 series equipped with another new cal. 3155 featuring a very practical double quick-set function allowing the wearer to adjust the day and date without interrupting the center hands.

The present example Rolex Day-Date ref. 18206 from circa 1996 in platinum is truly a classic. Subtly paired with an attractively aged silvered sunburst dial which has developed a warm hue over the years, the combination of the baton indexes along with its Roman numerals on the outer track features luminous plots sandwiched in between for legibility. With a hefty yet luxurious presence on the wrist, a platinum Day-Date almost never disappoints.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
