Rolex Day-Date
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is a COSC certified, self-winding chronometer manufactured by Rolex. Initially presented in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to display the date as well as the day, spelled in full.[1] The calendar display is offered in 26 languages.[2]
The Day-Date is one of Rolex's models made only in solid 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, 18k everose gold (Rolex's version of 18k rose gold), and platinum (PT950).[3]
A variant of the Day-Date called the "Lacquered Stella" (now more commonly known as "Stella") was introduced to Middle Eastern and Asian markets in the 1970s.[4] The Stella featured vivid, bright color dials[5] and was rumored to be named after the American painter Frank Stella.[6] A gold with yellow lacquered Stella sold at Christie's for $131,250 in 2019.[7]
As of 2020, Rolex offers two sizes of the Rolex Day-Date: 40 mm and 36 mm.[8]
