The 1831 is the platinum "Emperor", the rarest and most exotic of the vintage Day-Dates. It drops the round President case for the angular, integrated-bracelet architecture Rolex used on the 1530 and 1630 and later carried into the Oysterquartz, executed here in solid platinum with a factory diamond bezel. Around eight were built as a special order for the household of the Shah of Iran, each with a different diamond-set dial, and a ninth, carrying the Omani Khanjar, surfaced later. It is the Day-Date at its most imperial, and the hardest of all of them to find. | The 1831 is the platinum "Emperor", the rarest and most exotic of the vintage Day-Dates.
