Rolex Day-Date 1803

Day Date 1803 c. 1973

6250 Day Date 1803 c. 1973 This blue dial Day-Date is a slightly different take on Rolex's icon, with the warmth of the gold perfectly complementing the dial. It functions well given its age, with some slight differences in when the days and dates change - though this isn't normally noticeable. The watch has a stunning patina throughout that's consistent with ageing. \n\nFor most of its history, Rolex was best known for one watch - the Day-Date. Launched in 1956, it was conceived as a flagship for the collection. It was (and is still to this day) only sold in precious metal - whether that be gold or platinum - and gave users a new way of telling the time and date. The design is more or less unchanged since its release, and has aged gracefully with a few updates over the years.\n\nMore significant than the watch itself is the storied history behind the model. It's the watch of choice for people in power - notable wearers include every president ranging from John F. Kennedy all the way to Ronald Reagan, as well as sportspeople like Michael Jordan and Jack Nicklaus. Rolex Day Date 1803 Automatic 36 Scratches, marks or small dings which can be felt. Signs of use.
