United States President, Dwight D. Eisenhower is often incorrectly credited as being the first President to wear a Day-Date; however, the watch he actually owned was a solid gold Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet &#8211; frequently mistaken for a Day-Date in old photos. With that in mind, many other American Presidents have owned and worn Rolex President watches throughout the years, including\u00a0Lyndon Johnson, Donald Trump, and John F. Kennedy, the latter of whom was gifted one by Marylyn Monroe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The numerous instances of U.S. Presidents favoring the all-gold Day-Date on its iconic matching bracelet quickly earned this watch its iconic Rolex Presidential nickname. Over the years, the \u2018President\u2019 nickname stuck, forever cementing the associations between Rolex watches and success and personal accomplishment.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39716\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39716 size-full\" title=\"Platinum Rolex President \" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_218206-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Presidential Platinum ice blue dial\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_218206-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_218206-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_218206-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_218206-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_218206-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Most Rolex Day-Date watches are crafted from 18k gold, but some are crafted from solid platinum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>What are the features of a Rolex President?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rolex Day-Date, aka the President, has three distinct and unique features that make it stand out:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39714\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39714 size-full\" title=\"Vintage Rolex President\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9058-2-2-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Presidential Vintage gold 1803\" width=\"1210\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9058-2-2-Edit.jpg 1210w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9058-2-2-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9058-2-2-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9058-2-2-Edit-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9058-2-2-Edit-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1210px) 100vw, 1210px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rolex Day-Date is the brand&#8217;s flagship watch collection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>It was the first Rolex watch to feature both the Day and Date<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The President was the first Rolex watch that featured both day and date complications. You can always recognize the President because at the top of the dial, between 10 and 1-o\u2019clock, you\u2019ll see the day of the week, spelled out in full, through an arch-shaped window. Over at 3-o\u2019clock, you can read the numerical date display through a separate window in the dial, which is enlarged by Rolex&#8217;s signature, &#8216;Cyclops&#8217; magnification lens. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Rolex Presidential only uses precious metals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another unique feature about the Rolex President is that it is only ever crafted from precious metals. Modern options include all three flavors of 18k gold &#8211; white, yellow or Rolex\u2019s proprietary pink Everose, along with a small handful of ultra-premium versions crafted from solid 950 platinum. Because the Day-Date is positioned as Rolex&#8217;s flagship timepiece, it remains an exclusive option within their catalog, and you will never find this iconic watch offered in stainless steel.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Rolex President has its own bracelet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same way that the Jubilee bracelet was created specifically for the Datejust collection, Rolex designed a new bracelet style specifically for their new flagship Day-Date watch: the President. A combination of their Oyster and Jubilee bracelet designs, the President band features semicircular three-piece links, with the vast majority finished with hidden clasps.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39718\" style=\"width: 1213px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39718 size-full\" title=\"Rolex President Bracelet Hidden Clasp\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9062-2-2-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Presidential Day-Date President Bracelet solid gold\" width=\"1213\" height=\"998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9062-2-2-Edit-1.jpg 1213w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9062-2-2-Edit-1-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9062-2-2-Edit-1-768x632.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9062-2-2-Edit-1-1024x842.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_daydate_1803-5D3_9062-2-2-Edit-1-462x380.jpg 462w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1213px) 100vw, 1213px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The President bracelet was designed specifically for the Rolex Day-Date.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because this metal bracelet is unique to the Day-Date \u2018President\u2019 watch, you will also hear the bracelet referred to as the President in its own right &#8211; Rolex even now formally refers to this bracelet style as the President.
