The Pie Pan dial—a term affectionately used by collectors to describe the stepped, concave edge—was gradually phased out by Rolex during the late 1960s, making surviving examples like this increasingly sought after. This particular example is notable for its use of rose gold, a less common and highly desirable metal for the period, most Datejusts of this era being produced in steel or yellow gold.
