Rolex Day-Date II 41mm
Explore our curated collection of Rolex Day-Date II for sale.
The Rolex Day-Date II (refs. 218xxx) scaled the classic President to 41 mm, added a broader fluted bezel and housed the high-torque Calibre 3156 with Paraflex shock absorbers. Produced for just seven years before the Day-Date 40 took its place, the Day-Date II remains the boldest iteration of Rolex’s flagship.
Why Pick the Day-Date II over the Day-Date 40?
- Commanding 41 mm Presence – Largest President ever made; suits wrists ≥ 7 in.
- Limited Production Window – Only 2008-2015, roughly half the run of the Day-Date 40.
- Classic Double-Quickset – Cal. 3156 lets you cycle day and date independently.
- Value Gap – Trades 10-15 % below equivalent modern Day-Date 40, yet offers more gold weight.
- Future Collector Upside – “One-and-done” sizing makes it a unique chapter in Rolex history.

“I just picked up a yellow-gold Day-Date II at Watch My Diamonds in NYC and it’s everything I hoped for. The 41 mm case has real presence without feeling bulky. Very happy with my purchase.“
