Rolex DD PT Ref 118209.

In the beginning, the oyster bezel fluting has a functional purpose, it served to screw the bezel on the case, helping to ensure the waterproofness of the Oyster Watch, and It has the same fluting design and dimension at the base of the case. It has to be operated by specific Rolex Oyster Tool. The Bezel evolved over time and later would be friction fitted onto the crystal and the case. The Fluting because an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex Signature feature. A mark of distinction that is only available on Yellow Gold, EverRose, and White Gold Day Date watch. So this bare bezel is what… Well this is the Rolex Most Expensive version of Day Date: Platinum Watch , it does not come with any Fluted Bezel at all. The Picture shown here is a down to the Earth Ultra Low Profile Rolex Oyster Watch. Most os the people does not know that this is a Top Flagshp watch of Rolex., as they think this is a Cheap version of Stainless Steel watch that is having no Fluted Bezel for Cost Control.
In fact this is a watch of HKD$400,000.00!


Ps
For those Stainless steel Oyster Date Justs, the Bezel is made of 18Kt White gold, and most of the people thought that is Stainless steel.

Wolrd Most Expensive Rolex USD$1.16 million

Officially the world's most expensive Rolex, it is the first Rolex ever to crack the million-dollar mark. This split seconds chronograph wristwatch ever made by Rolex, it was never available to the public. This Rolex Chronograph was Sold For A Record breaking $1.16 Million. An oversized stainless steel Rolex chronograph made in 1942 just set a new world record for the most expensive Rolex ever to be sold at auction when it fetched $1.16 million at Christie's Important Watches sale in Geneva yesterday, 18 May 2011.
Limited to 12 examples were known ever produced, of which estimated only eight are known to have survived.

According to Christie's research, the rare chronographs were produced exclusively as gifts to famous gentleman racing drivers in Italy and the U.K. in the early 1940s, such as Stefano La Motta, Barone di Salinella, who raced legendary cars like the Ferrari 166S Spyder and needed to keep track of their lap times.

The Reason why This Rolex could be sold at this price is because it is big, and has a very balanced arangenmnt on dial, a split second watch… only celebrities could have it. And The World Economy is still OK… and of course, this is Rolex who used to be not the first choice in the auction list.. Well, I am speculating that the Ferrari Red Rolex Day Date would in one day hit another prominent Auction Record… let’s wait for a bit more…

Rolex Ref. 1803 Day Date Ferrari Red

I believe that there is less than handful of people who has enough money of HKD6,900 in the 70s and at the same time appreciate such kind of colour of RED. So by today, this is likely the most difficult to find RED DD of Ref. 1803.
This is definitely one of the rarest Rolex Day Date Ref. 1803 as the Dial Ferrari Red! I have been walking through many of the Singapore watch Shops last week with help of Uncle Jack, and almost all the shops in Macao and HK. I could not find out one. The owner of this watch is not me, he is Paul. Paul has been collecting watch for 25 years, I am waiting for him to sell this to me, but that must cost me a big fortune. It comes with Original bracelet, the previous owner is a 77 Years old man who had owned this watch for 20 years, he sold this to Paul two weeks ago. The watch color is rare, same as the Daytona Red, which was the world RECORD for US$170,600.00 in 2004.
