Rolex Day-Date Florentine Pie Pan 18k 1961
The quintessential Oyster-cased dress watch, the Day-Date was first introduced in 1956 and quickly became one of the most popular luxury watches in the world. This watch is a perfect expression of elegant style, while never sacrifice usability or reliability.
Our Reference (1806 Florentine) is an update to the 6500 and was introduced in 1959. Early 1800 models had the very rare cal. 1555. Our unpolished reference is even more rare because of the Florentine finished case and a pie pan dial with rare claw indexes (only used 61-62).
The icing on the cake is the developed leopard patina which gives this piece so much character, a 1/1 piece of art!
