That's a fleet tugboat. It's a fine watch but the flagship is a brand's showpiece. I don't play in the high end of the Rolex line but I assume the Platinum Daytona or some gold day-date is the flagship.
The Silverado may be a popular pickup truck and widely recognized...maybe even iconic, but the Corvette is the Chevrolet flagship.

For me Rolex is associated with diving watches, so SD or Sub..

I don’t know much about those American trucks you mention, but when I think Rolex, I think Submariner.

I understand, and that says the Sub is ubiquitous or iconic or at least very well known, but the definition of Flagship is "the best or most important thing a company owns or makes". I think the argument for the Gold DayDate or Platinum whatever is pretty strong.

The Corvette is not a truck.

Rolex has created many exceptional and even iconic watches over the years, but if one were to use the term "flagship" in its purest sense, as it applies to the brand, then the 36mm Day-Date would be at the top of the list. The Datejust would be next in line.

True. The Datejust was Rolex's flagship until the Day Date was introduced. #2 spot for sure when you consider Rolex produces and sells watches for men and women both. Best-selling, most-recognized Rolex design ever, for decades running.

Definitely the Day-Date, even though the Sky-Dweller is more advanced from a complications point of view.
