Rolex Day Date President Watch Appraisal

Rolex Day-Date President Watch

The item is a Rolex Day-Date President wristwatch, characterized by its distinctive two-tone Jubilee-style bracelet and fluted bezel. The watch features a dark, likely black or dark grey, dial with gold-colored hour markers and hands, consistent with the overall aesthetic of a classic Rolex. At the 12 o'clock position, the Rolex crown logo is present, with "ROLEX" and "OYSTER PERPETUAL DAY-DATE" printed below it. A day window displaying "THURSDAY" is located below the 12 o'clock marker, and a magnified date window (cyclops lens) is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark. The watch case appears to be stainless steel, complemented by a yellow gold fluted bezel and gold center links on the bracelet. The Jubilee bracelet itself is a combination of brushed stainless steel outer links and polished yellow gold inner links, showing some signs of wear and stretching typical of an older watch. The clasp visible at the end of the bracelet appears to be a folding clasp. The overall condition indicates moderate wear consistent with regular use over a significant period. There are visible scratches and scuffs on the metal surfaces of both the case and the bracelet, and the dial shows some minor dust or patina, particularly around the edges and on the luminous material of the hands and markers. The watch exhibits the classic design elements of the Rolex Day-Date President model, suggesting an estimated age from the 1970s to 1990s, though a specific reference number would be needed for precise dating. The quality is indicative of Rolex's high-end craftsmanship, even with the visible wear, maintaining its luxury appeal.
