FROM THE GUIDO MONDANI COLLECTION

Year: 2008
Reference No: 218239
Case No: M852865
Model Name: Day-Date II
Material: 18K white gold
Calibre: Automatic, cal. 3156, 31 jewels
Bracelet/Strap: 18K white gold Rolex President bracelet, max length 200mm
Clasp/Buckle: 18K white gold Rolex deployant clasp
Accessories: Accompanied by Rolex guarantee dated November 8, 2008, hang tag, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging.

Released in 2008, the Day-Date II was most notably cased in a 41mm diameter case - it was bigger and bolder than ever, offering proportions to the taste of modern standards. It stood in stark contrast to the original Day-Date launched in 1956, which displayed a 36mm case. Housed inside a beautiful white gold case is the reliable and robust cal. 3156 under a striking black dial with diamond markers. The reference was discontinued in 2015 with the release of the Day-Date 40. Presented in excellent overall condition and further accompanied by the original guarantee and presentation box, the present example is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an attractive and luxurious wristwatch manufactured by none other than Rolex.
