The quality of this hard enamel dial is outstanding, this model is nowadays very difficult to find and is probably one of the nicest ever produced by Rolex for its special configurations of the dial. It is indeed a demonstration of the highest craftsmanship: the outer ring has, the always appreciated, yellow color with applied dot-minute track, internally the rarest peculiarity: a blue enamel circle with gold hour markers for the hour. This special decoration is further enhanced by the gold lettering and dauphine hands with internal luminous material. The case is perfect, mint conditions, very close to “new old stock”, very well preserved maintaining sharp edges and right proportions, a true pearl and very difficult to find in all marketplace. The yellow-gold bezel is the perfect frame for an absolutely astonishing dial. With the typical Oyster case to prevent the water entering in the movement, this watch is also equipped with its original box, warranty, bulletin de marche and represents an unusual, rare and striking alternative to classic Oyster models.
