Footnotes
For nearly 70 years now the Day-Date has been an icon of luxury and sophistication for 20th and 21st century watch connoisseurs. A mainstay of Rolex production since 1956, the Day-Date has enjoyed a long history of collaboration and customisation with some modifications being more elaborate than others. The current example features a larger 40mm case and baguette diamond set hour markers.
