Scarce , limited Rolexes
What will be the less produced Rolex ever ?
Wil it be the 1831 ? A watch almost nobody knows , only 8 in Platinum produced ever. Day-Date and Midas style bracelet though not a Oysterquarz in Platinum. http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/l...jectID=5430976 Price doesn't reflect the rarity. Drop the link to the rarest in your opnion

I really like the white dial, and the details they chose to include on the dial of this watch. A bit rich for my blood, but one can always dream.
