Description
Very smooth - Smooth bezel Day Dates are something else, the simplicity of the case enhances the elegance and pronounces the beauty of the dial even more. Here’s a 1967 yellow gold Day Date in phenomenal condition with a razor sharp fat case and a crisp matching President bracelet in full length. The classic Sunburst Champagne Pie Pan dial is in mint condition and very appealing in this rare configuration. The clasp is engraved ‘La Residencia 1969’ and some research showed the result of a Spanish Horror movie with this name released in 1969. Further the Spanish day wheel lets us assume a connection to the movie, so far unproven but certainly possible. In any case a possible provenance probably wouldn’t increase the value of the watch but definitively the charm. An incredibly attractive 1802 that looks amazing on the wrist.
