The Inside Story
This is a beautiful and very elegant Rolex Day-Date with the single-quickset movement.
This Day-Date model, introduced in 1977, features a single quickset movement, making it easier to set than previous versions. Worn on a leather strap, it’s versatile enough for daily wear.
The case is in strong condition, with thick lugs and a well-defined bezel. The dial features a rare vertical-brushed champagne finish in a lemon shade, accented by diamond-set markers and black text. The day disc is in Spanish, and the watch is paired with a Bulang and Sons strap featuring a Rolex plaque pin buckle. It also includes its original punched warranty paper (indicating a sale in 1980), a booklet, a Rolex paper holder, and a 1981 calendar card.
