Before the 228-series ushered in Rolex’s latest movement architecture, references like the 116610 defined what a modern Day-Date should be. The white dial variant strips decoration to its essence — no diamonds, no gradient, just luminous indices against a crisp white background. For anyone seeking the Day-Date’s prestige without ornamental distraction, this replica of the 116610 in yellow gold delivers exactly that proposition.

The 116610 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
At 36mm, the 116610 offers a traditionally proportioned dress watch footprint. The yellow gold plated case pairs with the signature fluted bezel — a Day-Date hallmark since the model’s 1956 debut. Against the white dial, the gold-tone hands and indices create strong contrast for quick time reading, while the day window at 12 o’clock spells out the full weekday name.
The President bracelet flows from the lugs in yellow gold, its three semi-circular links delivering the unmistakable Day-Date silhouette. See additional references in the Day-Date collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic calibers are available to power this Day-Date 116610:
- Swiss Automatic — Caliber 3155/3255-series running at 28,800 vph. Delivers approximately 70-hour power reserve with quickset day-date change and hacking seconds functionality.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — A dependable 21,600 vph movement offering ~42-hour reserve. Globally serviceable, robust against daily impacts.
Both options provide smooth automatic winding and accurate calendar transitions.
