Rolex Day-Date 1811 – 18k Yellow Gold “Moiré” Finish, 1970
Few watches capture Rolex’s golden era of design innovation like the Day-Date Ref. 1811, produced in the early 1970s. While instantly recognizable as the President, this reference stands apart for its rare Moiré-finished bezel and bracelet— a decorative texture that dances with light, offering an artistry rarely seen in Rolex’s production history.
Crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, the 36 mm Oyster case exudes presence without ostentation. The golden dial, warm and perfectly balanced with the iconic day and date apertures, enhances the watch’s aura of quiet confidence.
Powered by the robust Rolex Caliber 1556, this Day-Date delivers mechanical reliability with timeless luxury. The President bracelet, finished in matching Moiré texture, embodies the model’s essence — comfort, elegance, and distinction in every curve.
A connoisseur’s Day-Date, where craftsmanship meets creativity — and where every reflection tells a story of Rolex’s golden age.
