COMMENT
デイデイトは、機械式時計が最盛期を迎えた1972年製の一品です。1956年に発表されたこのモデルは、日付と曜日を表示する世界初の防水性能を備えたクロノメーター自動巻時計として金無垢とプラチナのみで展開されています。18金無垢のオイスターケースはフルーテッドベゼルが美しく輝き、重厚感があります。ダイヤルはサンレイ仕上げで、シンプルなデザインが素材の良さを引き立てています。
ケースには傷がほとんど見られず、優れたプロポーションを保っています。2時ラグ裏のホールマークがしっかりと視認できる点も注目です。ダイヤルはパーフェクトなコンディションで、高倍率のルーペで見ても気になる点がなく、当時の仕上げがそのまま残っています。針とインデックスは上面の鏡面仕上げが美しく、ドットのルミナスが崩れずにベージュカラーで現存している点も高く評価されます。ブレスレットには使用感が一切見られず、美しい状態を保っています。弊社にて分解掃除を行い、パワーリザーブ48時間以上を確認しています。
ロレックスの最上位モデルであるデイデイトは、流れるようなラインと金の重み、そして手に取ると誘われるような造形が特徴です。スポーツモデルが注目されがちな昨今ですが、デイデイトは35代目アメリカ大統領アイゼンハワー氏に贈呈されたこともあり、現在でも最高のステータスウォッチとしての地位を確立しています。

COMMENT
The Day-Date, manufactured in 1972, represents the peak era of mechanical watches. Introduced in 1956, this model was the world’s first waterproof chronometer automatic watch to display both the date and day, and it has always been offered exclusively in gold or platinum. The 18k solid gold Oyster case with its fluted bezel shines brilliantly and exudes a sense of heft and luxury. The dial features a sunray finish, which enhances the natural beauty of the materials with its simple design.
The case is virtually free of scratches and maintains excellent proportions. The hallmark behind the 2 o'clock lug is clearly visible, adding to the watch's authenticity. The dial is in perfect condition, with no flaws visible even under high magnification, preserving the original finish impeccably. The hands and indices boast a beautiful mirror finish, and the lume dots have aged gracefully to a beige color without any signs of deterioration. The bracelet shows no signs of wear and remains in pristine condition. The watch has been serviced by our shop, and the power reserve exceeds 48 hours, ensuring it is ready for immediate use.
The Day-Date, Rolex’s top-tier model, is characterized by its flowing lines, the weight of gold, and a design that invites admiration. Despite the current focus on sports models, the Day-Date has established itself as the ultimate status watch, famously presented to the 34th U.S. President, Dwight D. Eisenhower. This watch continues to hold its place as a symbol of prestige and elegance.
