An elegant and striking timepiece, the present "Day-Date" reference 1806 will most certainly be a pleasure to wear. Adorned with what collectors lovingly refer to as a Stella dial, the watch draws immediate attention to the eye with its unusual apple green dial. The watch further delights by its fine diamonds to the dial and is for the first time offered at auction.
