圖錄文章
First released in 1956, the Day-Date was the first wristwatch ever to display the day of the week fully spelled out along with the date. It was revolutionary for the era providing the wearer with an elegant and practical timepiece. Today, the model is an icon and while the day wheel of the present watch is English, the Day-Date has long been offered with a choice of 26 different languages.

The present Day-Date from circa 1984 falls into one of the rarest categories of the model. The reference 18039 was first introduced by Rolex in 1978 and upgraded from the famed and much-loved reference 1803. In addition to a sapphire crystal, the timepiece houses the upgraded automatic caliber 3055 with quick-set calendar. Encased in white gold, the present example features a rare “wood” dial, which is more often found on yellow gold cases, making this a very rare variant of the model.

The present 18K white gold model with charismatic wood dial is offered with its original guarantee and presentation box.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
