A Young Fashionista’s Favourite: The Versatile Yellow Gold Rolex Day-Date
The Rolex Day-Date was launched in 1956 and was the first waterproof and self-winding chronometer to feature a modern calendar display, with a numerical date on the dial’s side and the day spelt out in full in a window on the dial’s top. The Day-Date has always been a favourite among presidents, leaders and visionaries for its look of vigor and confidence. Thus, the Day-Date is commonly referred to as the Rolex President.

Today, the Day-Date in Yellow Gold has also become a fashion favorite among young female millenials, which comes as a surprise as the watch has been mostly associated with an older mature clientle since its launch. This is because the Day-Date’s watch design with its Champagne Dial makes for a great pairing with other jewellery and accessories, and is itself aesthetically beautiful as a gold accessory to begin with.

This is mainly attributed to the emblematic and elegant yellow gold President Bracelet. The unique design of the bracelet’s three-semi-circular links resembles a striking and stunning gold cuff bracelet comfortably wrapped around the wearer’s wrists.

The whole watch is finished in 18 CT gold, a testament of Rolex’s commitment to quality and certainly is a statement of luxury and style for the wearer. Such a versatile design allows the watch to be worn for all occasions, making it a great complementary accessory even in a casual t-shirt and jeans weekend outfit. We take reference with 4 young international female celebrities and highlight the versatility in style of this watch for the young and youthful fashionistas.
