Catalogue Essay
Epitomizing timeless grandeur, the Rolex Day-Date model is instantly recognizable by its myriad of dials, bracelets, bezels and uses of case materials. Since its introduction in 1956, it remains one of the most diverse and exciting flagship models the firm has ever produced. Apart from prototype models, the Day-Date has only been cased in precious metals, attesting to the gravity of its eminence.
The Day-Date 40 was launched in 2015, as a successor to the 41mm Day-Date II, offering a different look to the traditional 36mm case. Dressed in a yellow gold armour with the signature fluted bezel, the present example features a charming green lacquer dial with gold Roman Numerals, showcasing a fine President watch fusing classic design with high performance. It is powered by an upgraded powerhouse caliber 3255 that is praised for its chronometric excellence and durability. It boasts 14 patents, a 70-hour power reserve and twice the precision of an official chronometer.
Exceptionally preserved in its alluring condition, the present example from circa 2022 boasts sharp finishes and crisp hallmarks and it is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.

Artist Biography
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.
