Description
Rolex Day-Date (Reference 18946). A platinum diamond-set automatic wristwatch with date and day. 2006.
Description
Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date revolutionized wristwatches by being the first model to display both the day and date separately on the dial. Featuring an extra-wide aperture at 12 o'clock, it spelled out all seven days of the week, and was produced with up to 26 different language options to cater to its global audience. Made exclusively in precious metals including 18k yellow, white, and pink gold, as well as platinum, it exudes luxury. Over the years, the Day-Date has evolved, offering a wide range of dial options, from delicate hard stone to gemstone embellishments, making it one of the most diverse Rolex models ever produced. Despite its evolution, the Day-Date has remained a staple in Rolex's catalog.
This rare example is constructed in platinum with diamond-set bezel and dial. Includes Rolex box and papers.
