About the Rolex Day-Date
Explore our collection of Rolex Certified Pre-Owned Day-Date watches at The 1916 Company. Among the many outstanding watches in the Rolex catalogue, the Day-Date is the watch that celebrates achievement. There are a few characteristics of this piece that set it apart from the rest of the line-up. First and foremost is the “day” indication at 12 o’clock.
The Day-Date is only available in precious metals and has its distinctive bracelet rarely found on any other Rolex – the President three link bracelet. The watch itself has been nicknamed the “President” by collectors due to the bracelet style and because of the many United States Presidents that have sported these models during their terms, the first of which was Lyndon B. Johnson, though JFK was also known to wear one.
