Lot Essay

The classic combination of the white gold case and blue sodalite dial with diamond-set hour markers is one of the most beautiful variants ever created for the Day-Date line. The present example pushes the boundaries of both rarity and attractiveness even further with the addition of the diamond-set hour markers.

The manufacturing of a hard-stone dial is a complex and lengthy procedure involving cutting a perfectly intact stone into thin slices and then eventually fit them on the dial’s brass base. This technique often leads to damaging the stone and results in only a small number being actually used, with the vast majority of dials being discarded during the manufacturing process.
