Lot Essay

The present timepiece is a rare example of the Reference 1804 in platinum with Eastern Arabic numerals, day and date. The presence of the Arabic calendar disc and numerals would have given this watch an exotic vibe in the 1960s.
Introduced to the market at the Basel Fair in 1956, the Day-Date has been one of Rolex's flagship models and enjoys continuous popularity. A symbol of luxury and prestige, the model was particularly appreciated by Middle Eastern clientele, often presented by the rulers as gifts or token of esteem.
