Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date is Rolex’s ultimate flagship timepiece. Produced exclusively in precious metals, it quickly became known as “The President” thanks to its association with world leaders and influential figures. It also made watchmaking history as the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full on the dial.
Offered here is a classic reference 1803 in 18k yellow gold. The watch features a well-preserved 36 mm case with a crisp fluted bezel, complemented by a beautifully understated champagne dial with a soft soleil finish. Unusually, the dial combines black baton hour markers with fine Arabic numerals forming the minute track, creating a distinctive and highly elegant appearance. The day-disc is presented in English.
Inside beats Rolex’s renowned calibre 1556 with the traditional non-quickset (“slow-set”) day and date mechanism. The movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is ready to provide many years of reliable enjoyment.
The Day-Date remains one of the most versatile vintage Rolex models ever produced. Equally at home on its bracelet or paired with a fine leather strap, the reference 1803 effortlessly combines timeless elegance with everyday wearability.
A true President’s watch, ready to become the highlight of your collection. Get in touch—we’d be delighted to tell you more.
