Specialist note

With the very rare and sought-after "Tiffany dial", the present watch is an unexpected gem for the Day-Date aficionado. Rolex is known in the world of vintage watch collecting for being one of the brands that most rarely let the retailers apply their signature to the dial. Not only this watch is a change from the rule, but it also arrives to us in an incredible state of conservation, with the dial untouched - the only hint to the passing of time is the warm ivory tone taken by the luminous material - and the case very crisp.
