Manufactured between 2008 and 2015, reference 218206 is a 41mm version of the typical Rolex Day-Date, crafted in pure 950 platinum. Launched in 1956 as Rolex's new flagship collection, the Day-Date collection and its iconic presidential bracelet are made exclusively of precious metals. While Rolex still produces the Day-Date in platinum, the current version is produced in a 40mm case (instead of 41mm). Reference 218206 is thus the largest Rolex President model ever made.

Similar to the Rolex Day-Date 36, the replica Rolex Day-Date II is available in 18k yellow gold or 950 platinum. The most prominent is the Day-Date II model 218206, which is made almost entirely from solid platinum. With a round Oyster case and the iconic three-link semi-circular presidential bracelet, this 41mm platinum Day-Date II is truly stunning!

Moreover, while the Rolex Day-Date II reference 218206 has several different dials. The styling of the ice blue dial is crafted from solid platinum, subtly conveying the ultra-luxurious nature of the Rolex Day-Date. The ice blue dial of the Rolex Day-Date II is more than just a sunburst metallic finish. The perimeter of the 218106 is further accentuated with concentric circles, as well as dark blue Roman numeral hour markers that match the hands, adding a nice overall effect to the watch face.

Although Rolex eventually discontinued the Day-Date II in 2015 to make way for the newer and slightly smaller Day-Date 40, the larger Rolex President remains a very popular model in the aftermarket. As the largest version of the Day-Date, crafted from the finest precious metals, the Rolex President 218206 in pure platinum is a true showpiece, an impeccable and luxurious expression of the brand's signature dual-calendar watch.
