A legendary timepiece with an unrivaled history, the Rolex Day-Date has earned its place as "The Ultimate Watch of Prestige" from its decades on the wrists of the world's most influential people. Released in 1956, the Day-Date quickly became synonymous with luxury, prestige, and exclusivity thanks to being the watch of choice for the world's athletes, visionaries, and world leaders alike. Only ever constructed of precious metals, the Day-Date's aesthetic is that of sheer elegance and grace. With its timeless style and inescapable impact on horology, the Day-Date stands as a vivid reminder of just how successful Rolex has been in realizing that very mission. This particular example features a coral dial and is in unused condition. In the pantheon of Day-Date dial types, the coral dial stands alone as the king of the stone dials. Exceedingly difficult to produce due to the large diameter required to fit a men's watch, the dials have been long discontinued, and many of the examples that have survived unfortunately have cracks or other damage. A coral dial is rare in its own right, but this example represents the first we've ever seen where the text on the dial is applied in gold, as opposed to the usual black printing. A true rarity in exceptional condition.

Watch is in like new condition, with only minor wear around lug tips due to removal of the leather strap. Dial is flawless, and there are no cracks along the surface. The numbers between the lugs are perfect and unmarred, showing that the watch has lived its entire life on the attached leather strap. A clear protective sticker was applied to the caseback to protect the perfect green sticker.

Nicknamed the "Gulda" after Austrian pianist Friederich Gulda who was often spotted wearing his coral Day-Date, this is a legendary and exceptionally rare watch that Rolex collectors dream of getting the chance to own. This particuar watch is the perfect confluence of beauty, rarity, condition and desirability.
