In the luxury world, one way or the other, exclusivity always goes hand in hand with quality and this is especially the case with Rolex watches.

Ferrite dials are very rare. Just two types of such dials were produced by Rolex: the first ever created was featured in the yellow gold 5-digit Day-Date's with Roman numerals, exactly like the lot in our sale. The latter, instead, can be seen in the Everrose Day-Date with diamonds.

With its elegant and timeless look, this outstanding Rolex watch immediately transports us back to the 80's, a time of luxury, success and exclusiveness, all values best showcased in its very special and unusual Ferrite dial, which features an incredibly charming reflection, similar to a meteorite, conveying a distinctive and incomparable graphic appearance.

Estimated at £12,000 - £16,000
