The Day-Date is arguably one of Rolex's most iconic models and has adorned the wrists of many key figures in history. This example is a slightly more contemporary iteration. Aesthetically not much has changed since the model was introduced in 1956, testament to its timeless character, though this particular timepiece has an outer minute track accented by Roman numerals offering it a somewhat more modern appearance.
