Since its inception in 1956, it remains one of the most surprising and diverse flagship models Rolex has ever produced. Apart from prototype models, the Day-Date has only been cased in precious metals, attesting to its glamour and prestige. Offered in absolutely crisp and unspoiled condition, the present example features an incredibly rare and charismatic blood stone dial that is defined by its forest green hue and subtle copper flecks throughout. The material is in perfect contrast with the warm gold case for a powerful aesthetic result, bolstered by the presence of the gold rims to the day and date window, subtly recalling the gold case.
