We're not going to bore you with the 'Think of the watch that a president would wear...' story. We want you to think about Tony Soprano's watch. A watch that has status, is associated with success, power, respect, luxury and a here and there, a couple of murders. Sure, he was not the only proud wearer as this watch has been sported by many presidents, 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 both, the date and the day of the week. The 182XX-series, the fifth generation of Day-Dates, were introduced in 1988 and the one we can offer you dates back to 1990. It houses the caliber 3155 that provides the watch with a double quickset-function. This means that the date, day and time all can be adjusted separately. The Day-Date we can offer you is in pristine condition. It has a very cool configuration, namely, with a gold dial and factory-set diamond index. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which gives the watch a modern, fresh look.

Introduction

Rolex Day-DateThe very essence of luxurious time-keeping, provided with a day and date function. It was launched in 1956 as a niche model and was only produced in precious metals (yellow-, white- and rosegold or platinum). Its retail price was way costlier than any other Rolex model. However, due to its popularity among a lot of prestigious people, for example presidents (hence, its nickname), it became Rolex’ flagship model. Over the years this model has enjoyed associations with a wide variety of people, from world leaders, athletes, celebrities and mafiosi (like Tony Soprano). Regardless of the differences, they all had one thing in common: being successful in their area of expertise. Therefore, to this day the Day-Date is still synonymous with luxury, prestige, style and success. With exception of the most modern models, the Day-Date comes in at 36mm. Do you earn this watch?Reference 182XXThe 180XX references were replaced by the 182XX references in 1988. Again, a new technical era began for the Day-Date. The caliber 3155 got introduced, which provided the watch with a double quickset function. From now on, the date and day could be adjusted separately from the time making the Day-Date a very convenient watch.
