Description
The Black Bark - We have always been strong in Day Dates but this year, in our opinion, has been the year of the Day Date. We have seen a big rise in the appreciation of vintage Day Dates of all kinds and apart from the market prices for most examples going up, there has been a lack of offerings on the rarer Stella and Stone dial versions. The hunger is big and is real. Be it Lapis, Coral, Marble, Bloodstone or Onyx, we see more custom made aftermarket stone dials than originals and no wonder, the market is dry, very dry. This makes us even more happy to have sourced a beautiful example of the Onyx dial Day Date. And this is not all, the watch has the mesmerizing Bark finish with 12 diamond markers on the bezel and bracelet.
