Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date Older Models

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date—yeah, the one nicknamed the “President”—debuted in 1956 and quickly became *the* status piece for tastemakers and world leaders. It's known for being the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day spelled out in full, which, honestly, was groundbreaking at the time. At Tropical Watch, we’re always keeping an eye out for those older models with stories to tell and patina that hits just right.
