Rolex Day-Date 1803

ROLEXDAY-DATE REF. 1803

ROLEX. AN ATTRACTIVE 18K PINK GOLD AND DIAMOND-SET AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH WITH SWEEP CENTRE SECONDS, DAY, DATE AND BRACELET. DAY-DATE MODEL, REF. 1803, CASE NO. 2'433'233, CIRCA 1970. Movement: Automatic. Dial: Silvered with diamond-set hour markers. Case: 36 mm. diam. With: 18k pink gold Rolex President bracelet and deployant clasp, overall length approximately 195 mm. Highly attractive, the present timepiece features a silvered dial, enhanced by the presence of 10 diamonds set on the hour markers. It represents a particularly rare variation within diamond-set dial configurations, further elevated by the alternating arrangement of baguette-cut and brilliant-cut diamond indexes, a detail that is both visually striking and seldom encountered. Reference 1803, which was manufactured between 1959 and 1977, is arguably the most classic of all Day-Date references because of its case, which is the ideal mix of sporty and elegant, and its ribbed bezel, which has come to represent what bezel collectors envision when they think of a Day-Date.Highly attractive, the present timepiece features a silvered dial, enhanced by the presence of 10 diamonds set on the hour markers.

It is the chef d’oeuvre against which all Day-Date models are weighted.
