Rolex Day-Date 36mm - Ref. 1803

For sale is a Vintage Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 from 1975 in solid 18k yellow gold, presented on a classic tan leather strap with its original gold-plated Rolex buckle.

The Rolex Day-Date 1803 is one of the most celebrated and historically important models in the Rolex collection, earning the nickname “President” due to its strong association with influential leaders and world figures. Introduced in 1956, the Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week spelled out in full at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock, a groundbreaking innovation at the time.

This example from 1975 features a stunning silver pie-pan dial with applied gold hour markers and matching gold hands, offering a refined and timeless appearance.

The watch is protected by an acrylic crystal, complete with the iconic Cyclops magnifier for easy reading of the date.

The watch is paired with a generic tan leather strap, and features its original Rolex gold-plated buckle, a charming and authentic period detail that enhances its vintage appeal.

This piece is sold with an original Rolex Day-Date Box.
