Lot Essay

Introduced to the market at the Basel Fair in 1956, the Day-Date has been one of Rolex's flagship models and enjoys continuous popularity. Symbol of luxury and prestige, the model was particularly appreciated by Middle Eastern clientèle, resulting in watches featuring the emblem of the relevant state, often presented by the rulers as gifts or token of esteem.

The present platinum Ref. 1804 is most certainly a very attractive watch, featuring the day of the week, the date and the hour numerals in Arabic, as well as 46 round diamonds on the bezel.
