Day Date

Day-Date

An iconic model launched in 1956, the Day-Date has always been crafted in precious materials and remains one of the most exclusive watches made by Rolex.

Folding Clasp

The first Rolex model equipped with a quartz movement was the reference 5100, introduced in 1970 and produced in limited quantities until 1972. This model was equipped with the Beta-21 calibre, designed by the Centre Electronique Horloger (CEH), a consortium of around 20 Swiss watch manufacturers, including Rolex, to create the first Swiss quartz movement. 

As Rolex wanted to develop their own movement in-house, the first Oysterquartz models did not appear until 1977 with the Datejust (calibre 5035) and Day-Date (calibre 5055). The model we have here, the Oysterquartz Day-Date, reference 19018N, has a 36mm case in yellow gold with an integrated bracelet with flat links and a fluted bezel. Unlike the 19018 version, this model has no chamfers on the lugs and a vertical brushed polish on the upper part.

The calibre 5055 has a 32 khz oscillator (4 times more than the Beta-21) to compensate for the effects of temperature and guarantee an accuracy of less than one minute per year, far superior to that of all Rolex mechanical movements at the time. In addition, this calibre has a hacking-second function and dual date and day setting, which did not appear on automatic calibres until 1988.

The watch comes with a Rolex travel pouch, its Rolex certificate of origin (date of sale 1987), a 2009 Rolex service guarantee card and manuals.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to simultaneously display the day and date through an opening in the dial. Rolex has never shied away from its association with influential personalities, including a number of presidents, which earned this model its nickname.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 18039 was produced between 1977 and 1989. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in hard stone or even [wood](https://www.41watch.com/en/day-date/1077-rolex-daydate-or-jaune-cadran-bois) (as our colleagues at 41Watch recently had), but all were now flat, unlike the domed dials present on the older reference 1803. 

The most useful improvement for this reference was the addition of a quick date-setting function via the crown, and the addition of a sapphire crystal to guarantee greater resistance and water-resistance. This technical advance was made possible by the new caliber 3055, replacing the 1555 used in the previous generation.

Our model features a rare blue dial with minute track around the circumference. The leather strap adds an elegant touch that makes this model a perfect choice for those who like sober, discreet watches. The original white gold buckle is the finishing touch that enhances the ensemble.

As soon as this model was released, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English obviously being the most commonly used worldwide.

This watch is delivered as watch only.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to simultaneously display the day and date through an opening in the dial. Rolex has never shied away from its association with influential personalities, including a number of presidents, which has earned this model its nickname.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 1803 was produced from the early 1960s to 1977. It was the first generation of Day-Date to be produced for more than 15 years. The main feature of this model is its domed “Pie-pan” dial and domed Plexiglas crystal. This dial features special indexes at 6 and 9 o'clock in the shape of a doorstop, hence its nickname “Doorstop”.

The Rolex caliber 1555 has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and is not equipped with the crown-operated quick-date system, a feature appearing with the following reference 18038 and caliber 3055.

As soon as this model was released, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English obviously being the most commonly used worldwide.

This watch is delivered watch only, with a white gold Rolex buckle.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 18239 was produced between 1989 and 2000. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in semi-precious stone or wood, but all were now flat, unlike the domed dials present on the earlier reference 1803. 

Our model features a silver dial with no luminescent material (“no lume”, which seems to indicate that this watch was intended for the Japanese market) and “SWISS MADE” lettering at 6 o'clock, as opposed to the “T SWISS MADE T” reserved for dials equipped with tritium luminescent material. To match the dial perfectly, the hands also feature no luminescent material.

The most useful improvement for this reference was the addition of a double function for quick date and day setting by means of the crown. This technical advance was made possible by the new caliber 3155, replacing the 3055 used in the previous generation.

As soon as this model was released, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English being the most commonly used throughout Europe.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to display the day and date at the same time through an aperture in the dial. Rolex has always been associated with influential figures, including a number of presidents, which has earned this model this nickname.

With a diameter of 36mm, the reference 18038 was produced between 1977 and 1989. It is the first generation of Day-Date to be equipped with a sapphire crystal guaranteeing water resistance to 100 meters and better scratch resistance. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in hard stone or even in [wood](https://www.41watch.com/en/accueil/891-rolex-daydate-or-jaune- dial-wood) (as our friends from 41Watch recently had), but all were now flat, unlike the "pie-pen" dials fitted on the reference 1803.

The most useful upgrade for this reference was the addition of a single quick-set date using the crown. The technical advancement came thanks to the new caliber 3055 replacing the calibers 1555 and 1556 used in the previous generation.

When this model was released, Rolex offered the possibility of choosing between 25 different languages for the day display, English being obviously the most commonly used throughout the world.

This watch is delivered full set with its box, outer-box, original Rolex international warranty and booklets.

Introduced in 1956, the Day-Date was a pioneering timepiece, being the first watch to concurrently showcase the day and date through an aperture on the dial. Rolex, known for its association with influential personalities, including numerous presidents, earned this model its nickname. The reference 18238, boasting a 36mm diameter, was in production from 1989 to 2000. During this period, a diverse range of dial configurations was available, some crafted from hard stone or even [wood](https://www.41watch.com/en/accueil/891-rolex-daydate-or-jaune-cadran-bois).

Unlike the "pie-pan" dials of the earlier reference 1803, all dials for the 18238 were now flat. A significant enhancement for this reference was the introduction of a dual function for swift date and day adjustment via the crown. This technological upgrade was made possible by the new caliber 3155, a successor to the caliber 3055 featured in the previous generation.

Upon its release, Rolex offered a remarkable selection of 25 different languages for the day display, with English being the most widely used globally.

This watch comes as a complete set, with its box, outer-box, original Rolex international warranty, original tags.

The "President" bracelet fitted to this watch was introduced when the model was launched in 1956. 

On this particular model, the buckle is marked "Made in Japan".
In the 1960s, Japan, whose economy was booming, decided to impose import duties on foreign products in order to protect their economy. To circumvent these duties, Rolex decided to export only the watch itself, without the bracelet, and to have the bracelets made directly in Japan, stamped with "Made in Japan"

As soon as this model came out, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English obviously being the most commonly used around the world.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was a pioneering timepiece, being the first watch to simultaneously display the day and date through an aperture on the dial. Known for its association with influential personalities, including many presidents, Rolex also gave this name to the bracelet of this model. 

Initially available in 36mm, the Day-Date was offered in 41mm around 2008 before being replaced in 2015 by 40mm cases. Made in Everose gold and equipped with a green dial with applied Roman numerals, this watch leaves no one indifferent. As soon as this model was released, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day and date display, English obviously being the most commonly used around the world.

Here, however, it is in Arabic that this information can be read, a first indication of the rarity of this model.

It's on the back of the watch that all the magic happens, with the presence of the Sultanate of Oman's emblem logo. This symbol, composed of a sheathed Khanjar dagger with two crossed swords, symbolises the historical weapons used by the people of Oman. 

The warranty card dated 2020 is stamped by Khimji Ramdas, the only official retailer in Muscat, Oman. This suggests that the watch was given as a gift by the royal family of Oman.

This watch is delivered full set with its box, outer-box embossed with the Oman emblem, its original Rolex international warranty, manual and tag.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to display the day and date simultaneously through an aperture in the dial. Rolex has never made a secret of its association with influential personalities, including a number of presidents, a fact that has earned this model its nickname.
With a diameter of 36mm, reference 18239 was produced between **1989 and 2000**. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in hard stone or even [wood](https://www.41watch.com/en/accueil/891-rolex-daydate-or-jaune-cadran-bois) (as our colleagues at 41Watch recently had), but all were now flat, unlike the domed dials present on the earlier reference 1803. 

The most useful improvement for this reference was the addition of a double function for rapidly setting the date and day using the crown. This technical advance was made possible by the new calibre 3155, which replaced the calibre 3055 used in the previous generation.

As soon as this model came out, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English obviously being the most commonly used around the world.

Our model has a rare black dial - the majority of production was silvered - with the inscription **"Swiss Made"** at 6 o'clock. This feature is only found from 1999 onwards and therefore only available for one year, indicating luminescent coating for index and hands, which match perfectly with our model produced in 1999. A dial with this inscription and an earlier production date would indicate that the original dial had been replaced during service.

This watch is delivered full set with its box, original Rolex international warranty (from Japan), booklets, card holder and tag.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to simultaneously display the day and date through an opening in the dial. Rolex has never shied away from its association with influential personalities, including a number of presidents, which earned this model its nickname.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 18039 was produced between 1977 and 1989. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in hard stone or even [wood](https://www.41watch.com/en/day-date/1077-rolex-daydate-or-jaune-cadran-bois) (as our colleagues at 41Watch recently had), but all were now flat, unlike the domed dials present on the older reference 1803. 

The most useful improvement for this reference was the addition of a quick date-setting function via the crown, and the addition of a sapphire crystal to guarantee greater resistance and water-resistance. This technical advance was made possible by the new 3055 caliber, replacing the 1555 used in the previous generation.

Our model features a beautiful silver dial with railway track minute track around the circumference. The tritium hands have developed a light cream patina that perfectly matches the tritium plots of the original dial. This model is a perfect choice for those who like their watches understated and discreet, but can't be confused with a Datejust that doesn't have the famous 3-link President bracelet.

As soon as this model was released, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English being the most commonly used worldwide.

This watch is delivered as watch only.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was a pioneering timepiece, being the first watch to simultaneously display the day and date through an aperture on the dial. Rolex, known for its association with influential personalities, including many presidents, gave this model its nickname. Reference 18238, with a diameter of 36 mm, was produced from 1989 to 2000. 

Unlike the “pie-pan” dials of reference 1803, all 18238 dials are now flat. The introduction of a double function for quick date and day setting via the crown is a significant improvement for this reference. This technological improvement has been made possible by the new caliber 3155, which succeeds the previous-generation caliber 3055.

At the time of its release, Rolex offered a remarkable choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English being the most widespread language in the world.

This watch appears to have never been polished, and has been worn very little, given the oxidative patina on the case and bracelet. This superficial natural patina can be removed with a simple, light polishing on request. 

This watch is delivered with its box, original Rolex international warranty (sale date 1995), 2005 service warranty card and manuals.
