About the watch
CONDITION
This iconic white gold Rolex Day-Date ref. 118209 with Oyster bracelet was produced in 2000 and comes with the original Rolex paperwork: “Attestion de Chronometere official”. This Day-Date has the younger and sportier aesthetic with a smooth bezel and flat-link Oyster bracelet, on top of that the cool blue dial. The movement (cal. 3155) is serviced by the Rolex Service Center of Amsterdam (Gassan) in July 2021, so warranty expires in about 2 years (July 2023). The perfect balanced 36mm watch case is in great condition with nice and thick lugs with even high-polish. The gold hallmarks on the back of the lugs are still crisp and clear. It comes on the original solid white gold oyster bracelet with moderate stretch, for a maximum 18 - 18.5 cm wrist circumference). The hands and blue dial with white text is of course fully original and in great condition. The day at 12 o’ clock is indicated in Dutch, but the English date disc is available on request. We think this is the most sophisticated yet sporty Day-Date configuration possible.
ABOUT THE WATCH
The Day-Date is one of the most iconic Rolex watches. It was worn by presidents, famous- and infamous people and became the watch to own if you were successful. The watch was exclusively made in precious metals (yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and platinum). It's named after the functions of the watch. It displays both the day (at the 12 o'clock position) and the date (at the 3 o'clock position). The cool thing about the Day-Date for collectors is that it's made in a very large variety of finishes and dials.
A BIT OF HISTORY
The Rolex Day-Date was first created for a small niche, and later became one of the most iconic Rolex models ever produced. 1961 was the first time the ref. 1803 (fluted bezel) appeared in the Rolex collection - together with the references 1804 (diamond bezel) and 1806 (Florentine bezel). It was later expanded in 1963 with the references 1802 (smooth bezel) and 1807 (bark finish) and 3 year later in 1966 with the last addition for the 18xx series, the ref. 1811 with Morellis finish.
