Champagne and diamonds sit at a very similar brightness, so what separates the markers from the dial here is not tone at all but shape, ten hard rectangles laid across a soft warm ground. Take the same dial with round stones instead and it reads quite differently. Cut alone is very nearly the whole difference between the two of them. The Day-Date 128348RBR is out of production, and the baguette champagne dials were consistently scarce at retail.

A 36 mm case in Yellow Gold sits under a diamond-set bezel, on a President bracelet in the same gold with its links set with stones. Ten baguette-cut diamonds mark the hours right across the champagne dial, with plain baton hands passing above them. The day is spelled in full at twelve, the date sits at three under the Cyclops, and a concealed Crownclasp closes the bracelet.
