Lot Essay
This awesome and ravishing Rolex beauty is offered in excellent overall condition and still retains its original protective sticker on the case back. Moreover, it was retailed by the prestigious London firm of Asprey, as confirmed by the Rolex Guarantee.
Rolexes set with precious stones are amongst the rarest and most desirable models of all. Launched in early 2015 as the Haute Joaillerie version of the Datejust, the Datejust Pearlmaster 39 was the first of the Datejust models to be fitted with the caliber 3235 movement, and the first to have a 39mm case size. The present version is fitted with a spectacular fancy coloured sapphire bezel set with 48 baguette-cut sapphires, the stones graduated in colour from blue to fuchsia pink. This simply stunning Rolex also sports a pavé diamond-set dial with Roman hour numerals.
Naturally, only the finest gemstones are used, cut and matched to perfection. The uniformity of the gems in respect to their colour and shape is quite exceptional. In fact, Rolex takes extreme care in ensuring that all the stones on each individual watch are of the same shade. This sorting process is carried out by hand and by machines that are usually only found in gemological laboratories. The result is quite remarkable and is what imbues these watches with an arresting quality that is hard to define.
The aesthetic appeal of this watch, its undisputed rarity and superb untouched condition would be hard to beat among Rolex’s gem-set production.
