Lot Essay

With Rolex Service Guarantee and invoice dated 3 July 2015 and valid until 2 July 2017 and Rolex green fitted presentation box.

Examples of Rolex Day-Date in platinum are an exceedingly rare breed. Furthermore, as the Day-Date is an extremely wearable and enjoyable model, most of these watches have been heavily used and bear either heavy scratching or heavy polishing. The present watch, however, is a very welcome exception to this rule: it is offered in splendid condition, hardly ever used. It still features, absolutely unfaded, the Rolex sticker to the case back. Moreover, this is the Japanese Rolex sticker specifically designed for that country, which is of course much more difficult to come across than the usual one.

Beyond its condition, one cannot avoid noticing the luxury and stunning aesthetics of this timepiece: the baguette-cut diamond used as baton numerals wonderfully complement the shine of the platinum case and bracelet. The slightly champagne dial adds a touch of colour and warmth, and is nearly perfectly reprised by the luminous accents now aged to, indeed, a warm champagne tone.
