Specialist note

With Rolex Service Center invoice dated September 12, 2011.

This watch is one of the very rare iterations of the day-date model in platinum. Preserved in wonderful condition, and always meticulously cared for throughout its life, as the Rolex Service Center invoice proves, this watch is a stunning addition to any Rolex collection. The combination of platinum case and bracelet, diamond numerals and silvered dial imparts to the timepiece an icy beauty that can be considered, in its deceiving simplicity, the ultimate expression of elegance and refinement one can find on one's wrist.
