An elegant and timeless interpretation of Rolex’s most prestigious model, this Day-Date reference 1803 in solid white gold embodies the sophistication and powerful discretion that have defined the “President” line since its debut. Produced circa 1972, the watch pairs the iconic fluted bezel with a beautifully preserved silver dial, achieving a refined monochromatic aesthetic highly coveted among collectors of precious-metal Rolex.
The dial presents a clean and harmonious layout with english-language calendar indications, crisp black typography, and applied white-gold baton indexes. The hands have been professionally relumed, preserving visibility while maintaining coherence with the original luminous accents of the period. The “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” designation underscores the technical excellence delivered by the caliber 1556, one of Rolex’s most reliable automatic day-date movements of the era.
The strong 18K white-gold Oyster case retains pleasing geometry and presence, its classic 36 mm proportions reinforcing the understated power of the Day-Date design. Completing the ensemble, the watch is fitted with the prestigious and correct white-gold President bracelet, whose iconic semi-circular links combine comfort, strength, and unmistakable elegance.
Bearing serial number 3’139’124, this example aligns with early-1970s production, a period increasingly appreciated for its build quality and vintage charm. Its coherent originality, desirable white-gold configuration, and preserved condition make it a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking the purest expression of Rolex’s signature prestige watch.
A sophisticated and charismatic Day-Date 1803, embodying the perfect balance of technical excellence and discreet luxury, an essential piece for the connoisseur of vintage precious-metal Rolex.
