Reference 1806 is distinguished by its textured linen pattern to the bezel and lugs, playfully dubbed the 'Morellis' finish. The most defining feature of the present watch is the immaculate condition of the timepiece. The case is extremely sharp and still retains its delicate linen-textured pattern, which is remarkable to see for a watch of its age. To complete the look, the watch is fitted with its original pink gold bracelet -reference 6764 - to match the case design, which was entirely made by hand. The bracelet is fashioned in a textured brick-link style that is still very tight.
There are even remnants of the Rolex sticker on the case back - another testament to its originality. The silvered sunburst dial is absolutely superb, free of any flaws or restorations, and is adorned with pink gold ‘claw’ hour markers. Playfully nicknamed “Milanese” in Italian, this watch is prominently illustrated in Pucci Papaleo’s “Day-Date, The Presidential Rolex” – a tome dedicated to the most coveted examples of the ‘crowned’ firm’s beloved Day-Date.
