Case Size
The size of a watch is very important for style and comfort. If you prefer an oversized watch like a Panerai Luminor, you’ll probably want Large. If you’re looking for something more discreet like a Rolex Lady Datejust, you’ll want Small. For everything in between, Medium.

The Rolex Day-Date boasts a rich heritage and an impressive standing in the realm of luxury watches. Since its debut in 1956, it has evolved into a symbol of success and prestige, worn by numerous world leaders, global CEOs and other people of influence.


The design and craftsmanship of the Rolex Day-Date are second to none. Every watch is a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence, created with exact precision.


The standout feature of the Day-Date is the prominent day and date display, located at the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions respectively. Both displays change instantaneously at midnight and the day disk comes in multiple languages, from English to Japanese. This pioneering complication set a new benchmark in the watchmaking industry.


The Day-Date is only made in18k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum, reflecting its elevated status within the Rolex family. It comes on either the classic President bracelet—which led to the watch’s “President” nickname—or a premium leather strap, while the three-link Oyster variety has occasionally been used on older models.


The President bracelet with its rounded links is considered Rolex’s finest bracelet due to its ingeniously concealed clasp, giving it a seamless aesthetic. It is a masterpiece of design that offers supreme comfort to the wearer.


The Rolex Day-Date is also known for its exceptional movement. Current models are equipped with the self-winding Calibre 3255, ensuring superior accuracy, reliability, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This extraordinary movement features fourteen patents and sets new standards when it comes to absorbing shocks and bumps.


The attention to detail in every aspect of the Day-Date signifies Rolex's commitment to excellence. The watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protecting its stunning dial. The date function, displayed at the 3 o'clock position, is equipped with the brand’s signature Cyclops lens for easy reading.


Within the Rolex Day-Date collection, two prominent models emerge: the Rolex Day-Date 36 and the Rolex Day-Date 40.


The Rolex Day-Date 36, as the name suggests, features a case diameter of 36mm, making it a classic and timeless choice. Conversely, the Rolex Day-Date 40 boasts a slightly larger case diameter of 40mm, giving it a more contemporary and bold look.


Dials come in a multitude of styles and materials, from meteorite to mother-of-pearl, as well as semi-precious stone such as carnelian and turquoise. Many dials are embellished with gems, which can also be found on the bezel and bracelet on some models.


While the classic Day-Date bezel is the elegant fluted variety, Rolex has made models with a plain bezel in the past, while diamond-set bezels feature on many high-end models.


There have been many famous Day-Date owners over the years, enhancing the watch’s desirability. These have included everyone from the Dalai Lama to Martin Luther King, as well as various film and TV characters.


At Watchfinder we offer a wide selection of pre-owned Rolex Day-Date models to cover every taste. Whether you are seeking something subtle in platinum or want a diamond-embellished gold model that radiates glamour and prestige, we have the ideal Day-Date watch for you.
