The novelty behind the Day-Date was its capability of displaying both the day and the date, and to add an additional degree of luxury the watch was only to be cased in precious metals such as gold and platinum. The Day-Date brought about an era that celebrated luxury and elegance, and it joined the 6062 to show the world that Rolex could do luxury watches just as well as it did tool watches. The release of the Day-Date was as magnificent as it was bewildering to its fans, some still attempting to embrace the reference 8171 “Padellone” that had just ceased production and the charm of the newer reference 6062 at the same time. In 1956 Rolex introduced the Day-Date and its doing ensured its relevance for perpetuity.
