Introduced in 1956, the Day-Date quickly became Rolex’s ultimate expression of prestige and precision, the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week and the date in full. The Reference 1803, produced throughout the 1960s and 1970s, remains one of the most iconic iterations of this lineage, combining timeless design with mechanical excellence.

The present example, cased in luxurious 18K white gold, offers a beautifully preserved silver dial with applied baton indexes, radiating understated sophistication. Its matching President bracelet underscores the model’s enduring association with elegance and authority.

Coveted for its purity and balance, the Ref. 1803 in white gold is among the most refined expressions of the Day-Date, a watch that unites discretion, craftsmanship, and the quiet power of classic Rolex design.
