Specialist note

The present Day-Date features a very rare and distinctive "tapisserie"-dial version, a quite uncommon and eye-catching guilloché pattern to its surface. This exclusive version of the celebrated reference 1803 family further stands out by its unspoilt overall condition, featuring crisp case lines and the original bracelet.
