Think of the watch that a president would wear. Got it? Good; now just add a "dab of ranch".

You will probably imagine a watch that has status, portrays hard work, responsibility, success, power, respect and you will probably (if not, definitely) be thinking of the Rolex Day-Date. No wonder that Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Reagan, Nixon and Roosevelt all wore one. Sure, they were not the only proud wearers as this watch has been sported by many government leaders, athletes, entrepreneurs, musicians and artists. The Day-Date is just the perfect choice for any person that has success!

The Rolex Day-Date was the first automatic, waterproof chronometer wristwatch that indicated the date and the day of the week. The 18000-series, the fourth generation of Day-Dates, were introduced in 1978 and housed the caliber 3055, which means that these pieces have a single quickset-function to independently set the date. The Day-Date is only available in precious metals and this piece we have for you today is executed in 18k yellow gold.

This specimen dates back to 1981 and is carried by an 18k yellow gold President bracelet with folding clasp which remains in good condition. The case itself is still strong and the star of the show is the stunning champagne dial that almost appears closer to yellow which has a minor blemish at the 10 o'clock position. The dial itself is complimented by the stunning brilliant-shaped diamonds on the hour-markers and baguettes at the 6 and 9 o'clock. All this beauty is protected by a sapphire crystal ensuring it isn't only well protected but also has that fresh look that makes you feel like a million bucks.
