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.
