Notes:  After the initial launch of the prestigious Day-Date in 1956 – in the intention of Rolex, the most prestigious watch in the catalog of the company – the model has evolved into a remarkable canvas for a number of dial configurations, sizes and case materials. Traditionally featuring a 36 mm oyster case, the 41mm Day-Date II was introduced in 2008 in response to the evolving taste of the public. An intermediate 40 mm version has also been introduced, in 2015. 

Presented in new old stock condition and further accompanied by the original guarantee and box, this platinum example leaves the beholder stunned with its ice-blue dial. Usually reserved for its platinum models (for example, it is also present in the dial of the platinum Daytona) the blue hue Rolex achieved is sublime and subtle: not too cold as to result “soulless”, but also restrained enough to impart a sense of gravitas to the watch. A number of dial configurations are found on this reference, the present one being one of the most complex, featuring a double finish: large concentric guillochage for the hour track and sunburst for the center. The Roman numerals in diamonds complete the ensemble.
