On a pre-owned gold Day-Date, buyers pay for condition and a complete set. This 2019 example has its box and papers and has been checked on our bench.
Some watches you notice from across the room. This is one of them: a 40mm Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold, with a fluted bezel and the President bracelet. It's warm and substantial, and it looks right with a suit or with a white shirt and nothing else.
The dial keeps it fresh. It's silver with a diagonal motif and clean index markers, so it catches the light without shouting. It's a quieter choice than the gold that surrounds it.
On the pre-owned market, buyers of a gold Day-Date look closely at a few things and pay more when they find them. Condition comes first, because gold shows how it has been treated. Then they want a complete set. This 2019 piece comes with its box and papers, and our own watchmakers have authenticated and serviced it.
It suits someone marking a milestone, or someone who has simply decided it's time. It comes with our 2-year store warranty, a written appraisal and insured overnight shipping. If you want to see it in person, you can book a visit to our downtown LA office.
