  Day-date, Ref 1803 yellow gold wristwatch with day, date, bracelet and rare linear geometric engraved dial, circa 1963.
  Estimate CHF 45,000–70,000

  The Day-Date was first released in the mid 1950s. It was the first wristwatch to showcase the date and days of the week by two apertures on the dial. This amazing gold example, reference 1803 was manufactured in 1963 and is fitted with its original gold Jubilee bracelet stamped for the 4th quarter of the same year.
  
  What further enhances this Day-Date is the incredible dial. Its futuristic geometric decoration illustrates the creative genius at Rolex. The faceted baton numerals applied to the dial lift its appearance giving the watch a certain 3D effect. Seldom do such examples come to market and the present watch is offered in very honest and original condition.

  Day-date, Octopussy, Ref 1804 impressive platinum, white gold and diamond-set wristwatch with day, date and bracelet, circa 1971.

  The present wristwatch is a rare example in platinum, with diamond-set indexes, white gold bracelet and a gorgeous oxblood enamel lacquered dial.

  'Jumbo' Daytona, Ref 6240 stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with bracelet and tropical registers, circa 1966.
  Estimate CHF 100,000–200,000

  The present watch is a very rare example of a reference 6240 that is very collectable, and in lovely original condition. With a 1.4 million serial number, it was released in the early batch of watches introduced for this reference and, as such, features a very rare dial.
  
  Known as the Jumbo Daytona, Rolex experimented with different dial configurations before becoming satisfied with the reference 6263 and 6265. While earlier Daytona models featured a small Daytona script below "Rolex Cosmograph", Rolex also introduced a different dial configuration displaying a slightly larger "Daytona" font. It was only much later that Rolex printed the "Daytona" designation above the subsidiary register positioned at 6 o'clock. In addition to the outstanding condition of this example, the subsidiary registers have begun the ageing process and are turning brown, contrasting against the bold white graphics.

  Retailed By Tiffany & Co.: Daytona, Ref 6263 stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with Sigma dial and bracelet, circa 1975.
  Estimate CHF 60,000–90,000

  The reference 6263, along with the 6265, was the last manual winding Daytona. This example is further highlighted with the rare and sought-after Tiffany & Co retail signature. The case features a 4.4m serial number which indicates that it has been replaced during a servicing. The bracelet, bezel and pushers have also been upgraded during a servicing giving the present watch a very modern appearance and very crisp condition overall.
  
  References 6263 and 6265 were both launched in 1969, replacing the first Oyster Cosmograph model, reference 6240. The stainless steel model with screw-down pushers was in production for nearly 20 years and it is very rare to find an example with the Tiffany & Co double signature.

  Rolex
  Daytona, Ref 6239 yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with bracelet, circa 1970.
  Estimate 100,000–150,000

  Rare is an adjective that can be used for any gold 6239, as only 300 were made, but this example is also in exceptional condition.
  
  With strong and large lugs, clearly defined angles and the grainé dial is exempt of any marks or scuffs, it is also fitted with an extremely rare gold bracelet that is on its own a delight for a connoisseur. The band has a very unusual pattern and perfectly hugs the case of the watch.
  
  It can be stated without exaggeration that this Rolex Daytona 6239 in yellow gold is one of the most attractive and important specimens in its category to have ever been presented on the auction market.
