Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date in Yellow Gold, Circa 1968
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, introduced in 1956, remains an enduring symbol of luxury and sophistication. This circa 1968 model in 18K yellow gold stands out with its striking black dial, creating a bold contrast against the warm tones of the gold case and bracelet.
The Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display the day of the week spelled out in full, alongside the date. Its 36mm Oyster case, coupled with the signature fluted bezel, exemplifies Rolex’s timeless design and technical innovation. The addition of the President bracelet, created exclusively for the Day-Date, enhances the watch’s prestige and comfort.
The elegant black dial features applied yellow gold hour markers and baton hands, ensuring optimal readability while maintaining an air of refinement. Powered by Rolex’s renowned automatic chronometer-certified movement, this timepiece guarantees precision and reliability.
