Rolex Day-Date 1811 – 18k Yellow Gold “Moiré” Finish, 1970

Few watches capture Rolex’s golden era of design innovation like the Day-Date Ref. 1811, produced in the early 1970s. While instantly recognizable as the President, this reference stands apart for its rare Moiré-finished bezel and bracelet— a decorative texture that dances with light, offering an artistry rarely seen in Rolex’s production history.

Crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, the 36 mm Oyster case exudes presence without ostentation. The golden dial, warm and perfectly balanced with the iconic day and date apertures, enhances the watch’s aura of quiet confidence.

Powered by the robust Rolex Caliber 1556, this Day-Date delivers mechanical reliability with timeless luxury. The President bracelet, finished in matching Moiré texture, embodies the model’s essence — comfort, elegance, and distinction in every curve.

A connoisseur’s Day-Date, where craftsmanship meets creativity — and where every reflection tells a story of Rolex’s golden age.

Rolex

No other name in watchmaking carries the same quiet power as Rolex. For over a century, it has stood as a symbol of precision, durability, and refined confidence. But beyond the fame and functionality lies a more intimate story — one told through the understated elegance of its dress watches and classic references.

At GOLDAMMER, we are drawn to the timelessness of vintage Rolex models — not just for what they represent, but for how they make you feel. The effortless sophistication of the Cellini, with its pure, minimalist form. The iconic balance of the Datejust, where utility meets enduring style. The quiet charm of the Oyster Perpetual, with its clean dial symmetry and everyday versatility. And of course, the rarely-seen elegance of vintage Rolex Genève pieces — snapshots of mid-century refinement, crafted with care and never made to shout.

These are vintage watches for those who move through the world with intention. No need for oversized cases or complicated bezels — just beautifully proportioned design, superior mechanics, and a legacy you can feel in every detail.

To wear a vintage Rolex is to appreciate subtlety over spectacle. It’s for the collector who sees beauty in a brushed silver dial, a fluted bezel catching the light, or the perfect serif on an old “Superlative Chronometer” script. Someone who understands that true luxury lives in restraint.

These pieces don’t follow trends — they define timelessness.

And when you wear a Rolex Cellini or an early Datejust, you're not just wearing a watch.

You’re wearing a piece of personal history — perfectly preserved, deeply considered, and ready to begin a new chapter on your wrist.
