Mostly known in its stainless steel and two-tone versions, the iconic Rolex Datejust has also been available, in far lower quantity, in precious metals, both on strap or on bracelet. 


This rarity has generated a strong interest from savvy collectors who also appreciate its comfort thank to the thinness of the case, compared to the equally emblematic Day Date model. 


The present example is in the purest tradition of the crowned brand, with a yellow gold case and the famous champagne dial.

Interestingly, this timepiece also has English hallmarks on the case and the bracelet, signed Rolex, was made in the UK. 


It comes with many original accessories, making this lot a particularly attractive and exceptional.
