Rolex Day-Date Ref 1803

The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 belongs without question to that rare category of watches , an icon of elegance, innovation, and refined craftsmanship.

At Amsterdam Watch Company (AWCo), we understand what truly makes a watch special. For nearly 25 years, we’ve shared our passion for vintage timepieces  , watches with character, soul, and a story to tell. Every piece in our collection is carefully selected, inspected, and cherished. And this Day-Date 1803 is a shining example of that dedication.

Produced in 1967, this Day-Date features the famous silver “Pie-Pan” dial, a detail instantly recognized by connoisseurs. The name refers to the subtly sloped edge of the dial , reminiscent of a pie dish,  which gives the watch remarkable depth and a distinct vintage charm. The 36 mm case is a model of classic proportions, perfectly balanced and effortlessly elegant on the wrist. Inside beats the automatic Caliber 1556, a movement celebrated for its reliability and precision,  hallmarks of Rolex’s enduring reputation for technical excellence. The leather strap adds a touch of modern sophistication while preserving the watch’s vintage allure.

What makes this 1803 truly special is its exceptional condition , excellent throughout, retaining all the defining characteristics that make it a highly collectible piece. The applied baton hour markers, the soft sheen of the silver dial, and the perfect symmetry of the design all reflect why the Day-Date has symbolized success and style for decades.

At AWCo, we believe a watch is more than just an accessory. It is a piece of heritage,  a bridge between past and present, craftsmanship and personality,  something to be passed down from father to son. Each watch embodies passion, precision, and attention to detail,  values that define both the timepieces we sell and the spirit of our store.

The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 is more than a vintage watch.
It is a timeless icon, carefully preserved and proudly presented by Amsterdam Watch Company,  where tradition, passion, and precision have come together for almost 25 years.

The president’s watch! The Rolex Day-Date is probably one of the most instantly recognizable watch designs ever made. Being only available in precious metals, it has become synonymous with success and prestige. A watch to celebrate accomplishment.

The Day-Date was launched in 1956 as the Ref. 6510 and Ref. 6511. It was the first watch to display the day of the week as well as the date, hence the name. It was updated to the Ref. 6611, adding Superlative Chronometer certification to the mix. The 6611 is the only Day-Date ever to be made in steel, but only 6 pieces are known to exist.

And then from 1959 until the late 1970’s, we see the most popular vintage Day-Date: the 1800 series. This is the archetypal Day-Date we all know and love. Lyndon B. Johnson was spotted wearing one in 1965, putting the nickname President’s watch firmly in the collective memory.

A 1977 update saw the introduction of a quickset date, in the new 18000 reference series. It wasn’t until 1988 before the 18200 series received a quickset day function, becoming the double quickset.

The Day-Date is available in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum. Countless dial variations include wood, stone and Stella options. Among the many case/bracelet finishes available, the bark is probably best known, resembling the irregular pattern of tree bark. The Day-Date is one of the few Rolex lines with factory gem-set bezels and dials as an option.

The Day-Date is an icon in pop-culture. It wasn’t just American presidents like Johnson and Kennedy who put it on the map. From Tony Soprano to Tupac Shakur, from Warren Buffett to Jennifer Aniston, they were all spotted wearing Day-Dates. Are you next?
