The story · Rolex, est. 1905

A Day-Date 40 worth waiting for.

Since 1956 the Day-Date has spelled out the day of the week in full at twelve o'clock. It is made only in precious metals and worn on the President bracelet, which is how it became the watch of heads of state.

Founded in London in 1905 and in Geneva since 1919, Rolex makes its own movements and casts its own gold. Before a Rolex is listed here, our watchmaker matches its serial and reference to the case and papers, and times it on the bench.

From our workshop

Inspected before it was listed

Five checks. This one passed all five.

  1. The Calibre

    Passed

    We open the caseback and examine the movement. Every part must be genuine and correct for that exact reference.

  2. The Heartbeat

    Passed

    The balance and escapement are timed on a timegrapher in several positions, so you know it keeps time before you wear it.

  3. The Dial

    Passed

    Correct printing, correct lume, correct finish. A refinished or service dial is always disclosed, never hidden.

  4. The Case

    Passed

    Serial and reference must sit exactly where the maison put them, and match the papers. Any polishing is noted.

  5. The Bracelet

    Passed

    Clasp and end-link codes checked, stretch measured and disclosed, every link cleaned by hand.

Questions

Before you decide.

Anything else, ask a specialist. Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 19:00 CET.

How do I know this Rolex is genuine?

Before we listed it, a watchmaker opened the case, matched the calibre and serial to the reference and the papers, and timed it on the bench. If it is ever proven not to be genuine, you get every cent back. No time limit.

How is it delivered?

Free, fully insured and tracked, in a tamper-evident case that has to be signed for. It is insured until it is on your wrist.

What if it isn't right for me?

You have 14 days to change your mind. Send it back in the condition it arrived and we refund you in full.

Can I see it in person or ask for more photos?

Yes. We arrange private viewings by appointment, and a specialist can send you more photos or a short video of this exact piece.

How can I pay?

By bank transfer or card. A specialist confirms the details with you personally before anything is charged.

Do you take part exchange?

Often, yes. Tell us what you would like to trade in and we will give you an honest figure.
