Ever glamorous, the Day-Date model delights with its myriad of dial, bracelet, bezel and gold-finished designs. Since its inception in 1956, it has always been one of the most surprising and diverse flagship models Rolex has ever produced. As known, apart from some extremely rare prototype models, the Day-Date has only been cased in precious metals, attesting to its glamor and prestige. Distinguished by its white-gold case, the present reference 118 209 is not just an ordinary example but one fitted with a sophisticated dark mother-of-pearl dial and diamond indexes. Together, the combination is visually arresting and gives the watch an incredible appearance. The conditions of the whole watch are incredible and the smooth, non-fluted bezel, is reminiscent of the platinum Day-Date models. Bearing a P serial dating back to 2001, the present Day-Date is complete with its full set of accessories and represents a highly desirable piece to add to a discerned collection.
