The watch that doesn't need further introduction, the Rolex Day-Date. Introduced in 1956 as the first chronometer wristwatch that had a day and date complication. A classic timepiece from the start, that - in the meanwhile - has and had a lot of prominent owners. This year during the Baselworld 2013 exhibition, Rolex introduced a few new variations to their flagship collection, yellow and white gold Day-Date models on a leather strap with the following dial colors: cognac, cherry, chocolate, green and blue.

Though it may not be as collectible or loved as most of its other brothers and sisters, I always adore the Rolex Day-Date since it was first introduced in 1956.

Initially, it came with a leather-band and an option to buy its 18k solid gold bracelet. Later in the years, the DD was sold with its bracelet, no choice. However, I prefer a leather-band on the watch to give it, a not so flashy appearance.

Thank-you.

 

My late father-in-laws that we're going to have serviced. We'll put it on a black croc strap, most likely, since neither my wife or I dig that much gold.

 

simple. classic.

 

I take that back. some of those colours are

 

Love the cherry colour, don't you?

 

the first pic that Robert-Jan put up is great. but really. this is my problem with Rolex. How can you tell a fake from a real if both come in those sort of colours!
