If any watch can lay claim to the title of power watch, it’s the Rolex Day-Date. Launched in 1956, it quickly earned its moniker as the ‘Presidents’ Watch’, favoured by heads of state, Gulf royalty, and industry titans around the world. A triumph of horology, the Day-Date built on the legacy of the Datejust by adding a day-of-the-week display alongside the date – a deceptively simple feature that required a new COSC-certified movement and a complete rethinking of the dial.
