Rolex factory-set bezel with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds, this magnificent 18ct white gold Rolex Day-Date 40 "President" truly lives up to its name. Additionally, the dial is set with 10 baguette-cut diamonds – this configuration is exclusively reserved for diamond-bezel pieces. 

Almost impossible to obtain from the manufacturer, gem-set Rolex are the watch of choice for the cognoscenti looking beyond the headline sports models. The stones are perfectly matched in colour, geometry and precision of mounting in a way that rivals the Geneva-made movement within. World records for Day-Date have been mounting ever since the recent 60th Anniversary auction.

In flawless condition, delivered this year, the watch comes with its Rolex box, booklets, gilt-edged Rolex warranty certificate (5 years from Rolex) and chronometer tag, as befits such an important and desirable model.
