The Rolex Day-Date in platinum is considered as the pinnacle of non sport models. There is a striking contrast between the understated appearance created by the classic diameter and re-enforced by the smooth bezel, and the strong presence on the wrist, thanks to the density of the material.


Rarely seen at auction, these models are made in much lower quantity than their gold counterpart. The platinum Day-Date gathers many of the most sought after qualities such as timeless dimension and design, understated luxury, rarity and reliability to name but a few. 


The present lot is a perfect illustration of the above, and indeed stands apart from others sporting an eye catching and attractive ice blue dial.
