With their classic design, robust build, and inherent prestige, Rolex watches have been the choice of many world leaders \u2013 including American Presidents. The Rolex Day-Date<\/a> has been famously dubbed the \u201cPresident\u201d due to this association, but the Datejust has also earned its place in the history of the Oval Office with its outstanding features, exquisite appeal, and timeless aesthetics.<\/p>\n

More than six decades on, the Day-Date and Datejust<\/a> have remained as the brand\u2019s signature status watches and the top choice of high-profile individuals. For Presidents\u2019 Day, let\u2019s track the history of Rolex watches that have graced American Presidents\u2019 wrists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Dwight Eisenhower<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Dwight Eisenhower was the first President to wear a Rolex, but the watch was given to him when he was still a military officer. It was a usual practice for the Swiss brand to give milestone models to world leaders. As such, when it was time for Rolex to find a worthy recipient for their 150,000th officially certified chronometer, they gave it to Eisenhower.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
