Dial: ice blue Caliber: cal. 3156 automatic, 31 jewels Movement number: 3 2'724'330 Case: platinum, screw down case back Case number: V’204’853 Closure: platinum Rolex President bracelet with folding clasp Size: 41 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 205 mm Signed: case, dial and movement Box: yes Papers: yes Accessories: Rolex presentation box with outer packaging, International Warranty Card dated May 29th, 2010, and booklets Introduced in 2008, the Rolex Day-Date II featured an immediate and major aesthetic change that any collector can easily identify right away—its size. Measuring 41 millimeters in diameter, the automatic cal. 3156 movement, housed in a platinum case, truly embodies the class and beauty of the model line while also embracing the modern trend of increasing wristwatch diameters. Released alongside its 36-millimeter sibling, the Day-Date II offers another option for those who prefer a larger timepiece featuring the same complications. The model line was released in four metal configurations: yellow, white, and pink gold, as well as platinum, which is seen in the present lot. The Day-Date II was in production for only seven years before being discontinued in 2015 and replaced by the slightly smaller 40 mm Day-Date, which is still available today.
