Pre-Owned Rolex Day-Date 40921651/AS06336

WHY WE LOVE IT

Double Quickset Day-Dates were once a thing of fantasy.

Early Day-Date models offered no Quickset functionality, meaning that both the Day and Date functions had to be manually set - with a fair amount of winding, mind you - by the user in order to display the correct information on the calendar complications. by the late 1970s, Rolex had improved the system and began offering Single-Quickset versions in the 'five digit' References based on the 18038. These versions allowed easier setting of the Date function, but you still had to crank through all seven days in order to set the Day. It wasn't until the introduction of the 182XX in the late 1980s that things got infinitely easier.

This particular example, a Reference 118209A, dates to circa 2000 and is finished in platinum with a beautiful silver sunburst dial with factory diamond-set indices, a smooth polished bezel, and a not often seen solid platinum Oyster bracelet with hidden deployant clasp.

This piece remains in fantastic overall condition and comes with its punched papers and serialized hangtag!

If you are looking for a rare, contemporary timepiece that packs a big punch in an understated way, this might just be the perfect choice!
