The day-date is one of the lines of wristwatches that present most variation. The dials Rolex realized for this model are a whirlwind of experimentation: silvered, black, lacquered in various colors (the famous "stella" dial) are just the least extravagant examples. The day-date has been also given dials in various semiprecious stones, with or without gem-set indexes, and even in wood.
Of course, over the years, such an abundance of options has been carefully selected by the collectors' community, who came to appreciate some more than others.

The present lot is indeed one of the day-date iterations that most appeal both to the layman, for its charming and fresh color combination, and to the navigated connoisseur, for its combination of the rare platinum case and coral dial, and the presence of its original box and guarantee.
