圖錄文章
The Day-Date is an extremely prestigious model made by Rolex, and was know as their “President” watch. The production of the Day-Date reference 1811 began in 1966.

The bezel in the present example is decorated with a linen-textured pattern and varies slightly from the reference 1806, which features a linen-textured finish on both the case and bezel. The beautiful, rarely seen flamingo pink colored “stella” dial elegantly complements the yellow gold case. The linen-textured bezel is correctly paired with the Rolex President bracelet featuring linen textured centre links.

In an overall beautiful state of conservation, the well preserved case features sharp, crisp hallmarks on the lugs.

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.
