Catalogue Essay
This beautiful yellow gold Cosmograph is preserved in excellent and pristine condition. It most notably displays a striking dial in "vert foncé" that is instantly recognizable upon a glance. So desirable is this model that it almost instantly sold out at retailers following singer John Mayer's appearance on camera describing his admiration for the model. Today, it is incredibly difficult to obtain one at the boutique, making this watch an incredibly sought-after item.
The present watch is furthermore accompanied by all its original accessories, further adding to its collectibility. It is preserved in excellent condition with all hallmarks and finishes intact.

Rolex
Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
