When were ceramic pin sleeves first introduced to Day-Date?

[TimeAZ]

Seeking input from the general knowledge of TRF:

Can anyone tell me exactly when were ceramic sleeves incorporated into PM Day-Date models? What year and model/reference did these become standard? Also, I know the 40mm DayDate has them. Does the 36mm have them too?? And how about other PM models- Full yellow-gold Sub or Daytona has ceramic sleeves too?

Thanks

I believe the DD2 platinum had ceramic sleeves.

Edit: looks like 2008 on the DD2 platinum

DD36 got updated with ceramic sleeves on the 128xxx models in 2019.

You’re right. I forgot to mention released widely on all colored metals in my post.

Are you sure? Has the DD40 been out that long already, wow?!?

Yes, it can simply be googled.
