Rolex Day-Date Watches Review

The first Rolex Day-Date replica is Ref. 6511 was cased by Brevet in either yellow or rose gold, it exclusively featured a red date wheel with matching red “DAY-DATE” text, and used either dauphine or alpha hands. The design was completed by a jubilee bracelet, adding even more heft that first helped garner it attention. The movement, Caliber 1055, was powered by an automatic rotor, the crystal was made of period-appropriate acrylic, and the caseback was solid. Rolex Ref. 6511 was, although luxurious, well detailed— a watch worth more than its weight in gold.

The second, and possibly more quintessential, reference that should be mentioned is the classically garish Rolex that solidified the watch’s place as an icon: Ref. 1803. It was cased in 18k yellow, white, or rose gold (as well as an option for platinum), and it certainly caught the attention of many aspiring, hardworking, stock-tip-chasing Americans. Its dial was less intricately detailed than that of Ref. 6511, but instead focused more aggressively on other facets, from the bracelet to bezel. While mentioning the bracelet, we should point out that this was the model that first introduced the now-famous “Presidential” design. All of these elements — the case, bracelet, and finishing — helped this reference, produced from 1960-1978 and then again well into the 1990s, conquer the market for watches with dates. This was the essence of the Rolex Day-Date, and quite possibly the most recognizable model ever produced.

The current production Rolex Day-Date comes in two models. The first has a 36-mm case and is powered by Caliber 3155, which you will be able to find in various references, all around $20,000. The second variation of the Day-Date, introduced this year at Baselworld, is 40 millimeters and houses the larger and more modernized Caliber 3255; these watches clock in higher, starting around $35,000. Both models are exclusively available in precious metals, feature the famous fluted bezel, stick hands, a solid caseback concealing the movement, sapphire crystals, and, of course, the “Presidential” bracelet. Each series then is made available with dozens of possible configurations, from baguette diamond hour markers to a simple yet beautiful lapis lazuli dial.
