Rolex’s Day-Date wristwatch is an iconic model both for its classic masculine case, and early innovative automatic movement. It was the first watch ever to display the day of the week spelled out in its entirety. Officially launched in 1956, the Day-Date is amongst the most universally known and beloved luxury watches, having a level of style, elegance, and desirability that few other watches will ever see. The present Rolex Day-Date reference 1804 is a very rare and extraordinary example, exhibiting wonderful workmanship that illustrates the best of Rolex’s know-how. Fitted with the most lavish and most exclusive version of Rolex’s famous President bracelet, it is adorned with round brilliant-cut diamonds on the outer links, accented with baguette-cut sapphires on the center links. The cylindrically set diamonds prominently rise high above the links and resemble the look of the suction cups on an octopus’ tentacles, affectionately called ‘Octopussy’ by the collector community. Manufactured in 1977, this watch is fitted with an elegant champagne dial, enriched with baguette sapphire hour markers that complement the bracelet, and a white gold bezel enhanced with 48 diamonds. Offered in superb condition with hardly any traces of being worn – even the factory case back sticker remains in place. It is a stunning example of Rolex’s most prestigious version of the Day-Date, making it a true trophy timepiece for the discerning collector.
