The extremely rare \u201Cno lume\u201D lavender-grey double dash dial, in excellent condition, is the centrepiece of this example. The 1803, famous for its magnificent step dial, has been produced in a wide variety of dial, case and bracelet configurations. This version features an extremely rare \u2018no-lume\u2019 (non-luminescent) lavender-grey dial. These dials are already rare and sought-after on 4-digit Datejust models, but they are true unicorns on the Day-Date.

The case has been kept in exceptional condition, making this piece a true collector\u2019s dream. The case is thick and still has very sharp edges. The bezel is unpolished. The watch is sold as a \u201Chead only\u201D on a leather strap with a generic buckle. The watch comes alone without box or papers.
