Overview

This timepiece captures the iconic silhouette of the 'President's Watch,' a design that has defined luxury and power since its debut in 1956.

Story

In 1956, the horological world was changed forever when the first wristwatch to display the date and the day of the week spelled out in full was introduced. It quickly became the timepiece of choice for world leaders, most notably associated with U.S.

Maker / Origin

Hans Wilsdorf founded Rolex with the vision of creating wristwatches that were as precise as marine chronometers, a feat thought impossible at the turn of the 20th century.

Condition & Value

The watch appears to be in new condition, still featuring protective plastic wrap on the bracelet. This appears to be a contemporary homage or replica rather than a vintage solid-gold Rolex.
