Description

Rolex Day-Date 1803 18k White Gold Blue Dial 1965 Serviced

Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 | 18ct White Gold | Blue Dial A beautifully preserved example of the iconic Rolex Day-Date reference 1803, presented here in 18ct white gold with a striking deep blue dial. The dial displays a rich, even colour with applied baton hour markers and matching white gold dauphine hands — clean, unfussy, and utterly classic. The fluted bezel is crisp and well-defined, retaining strong ridges that speak to careful ownership over the years. The “T SWISS T” notation at six o’clock places this example firmly in the late 1960s to mid-1970s production window, during which the 1803 was powered by the celebrated Cal. 1556 movement. Presented on a black crocodile-pattern leather strap, giving it a smart, dressy appearance while the original bracelet is either stored or sourced separately. Key Details: • Reference: 1803 • Case Material: 18ct White Gold • Dial: Blue, baton indices • Bezel: Fluted • Movement: Cal. 1556 (automatic) • Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, day • Dial Signature: Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified • Circa: Late 1965 A quintessential President’s watch in one of the most desirable dial and case metal combinations. The blue and white gold pairing is perennially sought after and rarely improves with age — this example is no exception.
