Saw this beautiful rare vintage Day Date on sale by Robert Maron from the US for USD38,500
First time I see this beauty...
here is the description
ROLEX VINTAGE 1803 18K DAY DATE PROTOTYPE GOLD LEAF DIAL 1972
Never before seen prototype gold leaf dial on a 1972 Rolex Day Date President. Rolex has always saved their most imaginative and creative and beautiful dials for the Day Date model. Dial is made by Fluckiger & Fils, which is a Swiss firm making artisan dials for leading brands likes Patek Philippe and Rolex. This dial was shown to Rolex as a prototype and was never brought into commercial production. Only a handful of leaf dials exist in 18k and none were ever sold at retail by a Rolex jeweler.
