Movement
Rolex signed manual winding cal 618
Case
Oversized cushion shape with screw back case stainless steel signed Rolex, 47 mm.
Dial
Black lacquered dial known as” California” with mixed luminous Arabic and Roman numerals
Features
According to scholarship, 211 examples are known of the reference, having begun production in 1940. Established in 1860 in Florence, Italy, Officine Panerai was a purveyor of specialized precision instruments like compasses and dive gauges, and by the turn of the twentieth century, the firm manufactured wristwatches. Today, their vintage watches are design icons, easily identified by their oversized cushion-shaped case and clear legible dial. Panerai experimented with various compounds to produce a new luminous material that would be brighter and more effective for their underwater instruments. The luminous powder was named “Radiomir” and patented in France in 1916. Following three years of testing beginning in 1935, they began supplying highly specialized dive watches to the Royal Italian Navy. Evolved from Panerai’s prototype model, the reference 2533, their second model was the reference 3646, produced from 1938 to the early 1950s with variants classified from Type A to Type G, each bearing unique aesthetics. Manufactured by Rolex for Panerai, the present lot is fitted with a stunning, black “California-type” dial – a design patented by Rolex in 1941 with half Arabic and half Roman numerals – that retains its gorgeous, original glossy surface. The well-preserved 47mm stainless steel case houses a Rolex-signed movement – the manually-wound caliber 618. Case, movement signed

White gold 18 kt with screw back case, president hidden clasp 18 kt white gold bracelet. 36mm
Factory sticker outside case back.
Dial
Silver dial with applied baton indexes, luminous dots, and hands.
Features
Colloquially referred to as the “President”, the Rolex Day-Date earned the nickname in a typically genius marketing move by the brand - reportedly gifting a Day-Date watch to then President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower. The brand claimed in its marketing materials of the time that “Men who guide the history of the world, wear Rolex watches” and neither the Day-Date’s ageless elegance, prestige, nor high value, have faded since. The “President” name is often associated with a particular style bracelet, accompanying many Rolex Day-Date watches.
The watch retains the factory sticker outside the case back showing that it has been worn only a few times since it has originally purchased. The bracelet according to the excellent condition of the watch has no stretch and is extremely tight.

The GMT-Master is one of the most iconic watches of all time; Rolex launched it in 1954 to give pilots a watch that could read two time zones. The reference 1675 was the second reference of this model, replacing the reference 6542. The 1675 was offered in a few different variations. The present example in 1975 was cased with the serial n. 4.011.xxx in 18k yellow gold with a brown “root beer” dial and bezel with a leather band. While the GMT model was originally produced as a tool watch for pilots, Rolex realized that there was an increased demand among international travelers and a viable market for a dressier version.
