Rolex. A fine and very rare 18K gold automatic wristwatch with day, date and sweep centre seconds

Preserved in stunning condition, this example of a Rolex Day-Date is fitted with an extremely rare dial mainly defined by the large and thick dot numerals. Interestingly, also the baton numerals are slightly different than usually found on such model: they feature much rounder edges to match the large dot indexes. Beyond its rarity, the aesthetic result is extremely appealing and the dial acquires an impressive depth and tri-dimensional effect. The numerals seem to float above the dial thanks to their thickness and rounded edges which reflect light in a very unusual manner
