Since the introduction, the brand played a big role in the history of horology. Many innovations, reliable movements and versatile designs is what makes this brand the most well known watch manufacturer in the world. In the 1950s, Rolex launched their most famous sports models like the Submariner, GMT-Master and Explorer. Next to these tool watches, the Day-Date was also introduced. This was the first wristwatch to display the time, day and date at the same time.  This reference 1803/9 from 1967 is a stunning true vintage example of the this legendary model. The case and bracelet are crafted out of 18K white gold, making this piece very subtle and perfect for an everyday watch. Talking about patina, the tritium in the hands an on the hour markers aged like fine wine. The silver pie-pan dial has doorstop-shaped markers on the 6 and 9 o'clock position which reflect light beautifully. All this beauty is seen through a charming plexi crystal which is seen for the last time on this reference. This Day-Date is ready to be worn and comes watch only.
