Rolex Date Ref. 1503 18k Yellow Gold

The Rolex Date is one of the more modestly sized models in the Rolex family, measuring 34mm without the crown. In the 1950s, this size was considered generous for a gentleman’s wrist. While today’s trends lean toward larger watches, the 34mm still holds timeless appeal and versatility it’s a perfect size for both men and women.

We believe this piece offers an ideal balance of elegance and presence. The full gold case gives it a solid look and, in person, it wears slightly larger than the measured 34mm.

What truly sets this watch apart is the dial. The rich black dial, paired with gold hour markers and fully intact tritium plots, creates a striking aesthetic. The contrast between the gold and black is simply stunning. Topped off with a classic fluted bezel, this watch is a standout in any collection.

The Rolex Date line is perhaps a bit of a hidden gem. Overlooked by the male audience when fashion dictated watches should be big in the early 2000s. Now that the trends are leaning towards smaller again, they are being rediscovered as a pretty great size for both men and women. Of course, there are smaller sizes available as well, but the 34mm is the most common.

Rolex launched the 36mm Datejust and the 34mm Air King in 1945. About a decade later, the Date was added as a sort of in-between model. The same 34mm Oyster case as the Air King, but with the addition of a date and cyclops like the Datejust.

So what you have here is a watch that is technically the same as a Datejust, but since its smaller size scares off some of the potential buyers, it is much more affordable. So if you are confident wearing a subtle size like this (if you are not, come and try one on. You will be converted) this is a real sweet spot in the vintage Rolex market!

The Date comes in tons of variations. From rare early models with gilt dials and dagger hands, to super minimalist silver dial, oyster bracelet examples. You can have your pick of materials, colors and bracelets. There is surely a version that will speak to you!
