Auction preview: Guido Mondani collection - DDs and more

[miamiclay]

I want to look at these tomorrow, but a few quick thoughts for now -

The green YG Stella dial in WG case - This seems certain to be a franken, perhaps assembled around the khanjar caseback.

The black dial 18239 - As per Phillips’ description, these diamond and baton dials are indeed rare. Below is a YG example (with different batons), I’ve never seen another one in WG that I can recall.

As for the Tridors, I believe differing oxidation (and/or lighting) is the correct explanation, I don’t believe Rolex made different arrangements of the three gold colors.
