Lot Essay

Widely acknowledged as being one of the most varied and unusual model created by Rolex, the Day-Date was manufactured in an impressive number of examples, some adorned with precious stones, lacquered or unusual dials, now much sought after by the most astute collectors. It is with great rarity that the present watch is maintained with its original certificate.

Highly attractive and rare, the present timepiece features a beautiful grossular garnet rubellite dial set with diamond indexes and allied to an 18k gold case of strong proportions. This dial is amongst the most coveted natural hardstone dials to be found on a modern Day-Date. Aside from its rarity, each grossular dial vary in appearance and provide varying shades or colors.
