Rolex Day-Date president in yellow gold with a turquoise diamond dial

Rapper and songwriter Aubrey Drake Graham wears a 36mm Rolex Day-Date president in yellow gold with a turquoise diamond dial and diamond bezel. The current President bracelet, with its semi-circular three-piece links and diamond semi-setting, was initially created in 1956 for the launch of the Day-Date. It represents the ultimate in refinement and is always made of precious metals.

About the Watch

The Rolex Day-Date was the first timepiece to show the date and day of the week in complete windows on the dial, and it was only offered in 18-carat gold or platinum. Thanks to the President bracelet explicitly designed for it, the Day-Date remains the wristwatch of choice for influential individuals.

The Rolex Day-Date casing is 36mm in diameter and circular. The twinlock twofold water-resistant mechanism with a screw-down crown case back is screwed down. On the other hand, the Folding Crown clasp deployment buckle is hidden.

The turquoise diamond dial is a Rolex watch’s distinguishing characteristic, the element most accountable for its identification and legibility. This dial is developed and made in-house, primarily by hand, to ensure excellence. Besides, it features hour indicators crafted from 18 ct gold to minimize tarnishing. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal also protects the dial.

The Rolex Day-Date president bracelet is coated with refined solid 18k yellow gold and has a finished solid 18k yellow gold casing. Turquoise dial with diamond hour indicators in the form of an index and Roman numerals. At 3 o’clock, the date window appears under the Cyclops lens, while the day window appears at noon. The day and date are set instantly.

For accurate time settings, you can use the stop-seconds option. The Rolex Caliber 3255 self-winding automatic COSC Superlative Chronometer movement, which has a 70-hour power reserve, 28,800 vph, and 31 jewels, 330 feet / 100 meters waterproof, is the heart of the watch.

The diamond is put and accurately positioned with others with the craftsmanship of a jeweler and firmly fixed in its gold setting. Aside from the inherent quality of the gemstones, the accurate aligning of the gems’ height, inclination, and placement, the uniformity, sturdiness, and measurements of the fitting, and the meticulous polishing of the metalworking all add to the elegance of Rolex gem-setting. This gleaming harmony complements the timepiece and fascinates the user.

The diamonds stand out nicely against the gold of the bezel. It’s because the bezel, such as the President bracelet’s middle links, has a bark finish. The contrast between the diamond’s brilliance and sheen and the rustic glitter of the gold creates a beautiful aesthetic. However, it’s worth noting that for a diamond-set watch, it’s not too pricey. For diamond enthusiasts, it’s just a great, subtle, exquisite touch.

The Rolex President should have been the first timepiece that comes to mind when thinking about legendary dress pieces. The Rolex President has been the go-to watch for political elites and influentials for nearly six decades. The Rolex President is more than simply a high-end dress watch; it’s a declaration of authority and riches.
