A Token of Prestige: Reviewing the Largest Platinum Rolex Day-Date II

Rolex introduced the Day-Date II Reference 218206 in 2008. Crafted from 950 platinum, this watch is the largest platinum Rolex Day-Date President Rolex has ever produced. The timepiece measures 41mm in diameter.

The Day-Date is one of the flagship collections of Rolex, originally released in 1956. Rolex has always created the Day-Date models with precious metals and with the signature President bracelet.

However, the watchmaker still produces the Day-Date in platinum. But the current versions consist of a 40mm case instead of a 41mm. Thus, Reference 218206 is the biggest platinum Rolex Day-Date II President watch that exist within the brand’s catalogue.

Let’s take an in-depth look at the prestigious Day-Date President 218206. However, if you are looking for trusted watch buyers to sell your Rolex watch, contact us on 0207 242 9160 today.

The Platinum Rolex Day-Date II Reference 218206

Rolex offers the Day-Date II exclusively in 950 platinum and 18ct gold. However, Reference 218206 is made of entirely platinum. Thanks to the platinum Oyster case and the semicircular President bracelet, this Day-Date II 41mm watch looks stunning.

Moreover, the Day-Date Reference 218206 is available in different dial choices, including the subtle ice blue dial. The ice blue dial represents the ultra-luxurious aesthetics of the platinum Day-Date 41.

• However, the dial features concentric circles on the edge (rather than a metallic sunburst finish).
• The Roman numeral markers come in a dark blue shade matching the hands. Furthermore, it adds an overall classy effect to the watch’s face.
• The watch flaunted a broader bezel and thicker lugs, offering a sportier look.

In 2015, Rolex stopped the production of Day-Date II 41 to pave the way for a new, smaller Day-Date 40. The Rolex President Ref. 218206 still enjoys extreme popularity. Its discontinuation has made it only more desirable in the pre-owned market.

The Calibre 3156 Movement Powering Rolex President 218206

Besides the 41mm case, Rolex also upgraded the Day-date II with an in-house movement – Calibre 3136. This automatic movement comes with chronometer certification and double Quickset functionality.

• The Calibre 3136 features Rolex’s patented Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers.
• Moreover, the movement offers a power reserve of 48hours and operates at 28,800 beats per hour.

The Bigger Rolex Day-Date President 41

When Rolex released the Day-Date II 41mm, many people appreciated the big size who preferred large models. The traditional Day-Date collection included 36mm that was undeniably a versatile size complementing all wrists. However, for those with bigger wrists and fans of large watches, the 36mm appeared too small.

Well, the Rolex Day-Date II and Day-Date 40 are some of the most famous and coveted luxury timepieces in the world. The Rolex President watches brace the wrists of many celebrities and affluent alike. However, Day-Date 40 and Day-Date II are more popular among athletes.

Overall, the platinum Rolex Day-Date II President Ref. 218206 is highly luxurious and a real statement piece. In addition, it looks more elegant and classy with the ice blue dial. What are your thoughts?
