A very rare Day Date for you guys to see ....

This is a 5.9 million serial (1979) Day Date, this is one of the very first
sapphire crystal Day Dates ever made. Rolex made plastic Day Dates
until the early 6 million serial, so this is a truly "transitional" watch. The
dial is a rare chocolate brown enamel Vignette. Rolex made lots of this
style dial in blue and red, but very few in brown. I have only seen one
other in 15 years of collecting. I bought this watch 2 years ago NOS
out of a safe in Thailand. The best part for me is that it is complete.
Boxset, papers, numbered tags, everything that it had when it left the
dealer 30 years ago. My favorite watch- for now
