Day-Date (First Generation)

Day-Date is a Rolex model with a clearly documented place in the collection's history. Introduced as the world's first waterproof, self-winding wristwatch to display both the full day of the week and the date. Crafted exclusively in precious metals, it became Rolex's flagship collection. This 1956 entry identifies Day-Date (First Generation) as a distinct product generation. On the pre-owned market, reference 6611 provides the clearest search key. Its traceable debut year makes it a meaningful birth-year gift.
