The ultimate symbol of prestige, the new-generation Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 looks more distinguished and powerful than ever, writes Tan Wei Lin
NEW LUXURY WATCHES ARE marked by a lineage as prestigious as the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. It's classic, understated aesthetics belie its illustrious history and unique reputation as the “presidents’ watch”, having adorned the wrists of some of the world’s most eminent political figures, directors and visionaries since it was introduced in 1956.
Clearly, besides its links to prominent figures, there is something about this timepiece that sets it apart from other luxury watches. Its distinctive day display at 12 o’clock—the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is the first-ever watch to indicate the day of the week spelled out in full and currently offers the display in a choice of 26 languages—and the fact that it is only available in 18K yellow, white and Everose gold or platinum also places it in the upper echelons of the Rolex stable.
