The present Day-Date is a remarkable example highlighted by two very sought-after traits. The most obvious is the black lacquered dial: the deep gloss finish granted by the lacquer perfectly integrates with the gold case and gilt designations, the contrast of such a bold chromatic arrangement creating a piece with momentous aesthetic impact.
The second is the finish of case and bracelet: not the usual satin/polished one, but a much more elaborated and mesmerizing textured finish. A true interpreter of its times, such kind of designs began to be used in the mid-sixties - and thus this is one of the earliest interpretations of the concept - and blossomed in the seventies. These decades are in fact characterized by a gradual simplification of dial designs, in ensemble with a parallel increase in the complexity of the case which becomes a canvas to experiment with angular, geometric shapes and, such as indeed in this instance, unusual and extremely elaborated finishes.
