Rolex Daydate ref.1803 18k yellow gold

Here we present a beautiful Rolex Day-Date reference 1803 in 18k yellow gold, a watch that has long stood as the ultimate symbol of quiet success. Since 1956, the Day-Date has been one of Rolex’s most prestigious lines, made only in precious metals and, of course, famous for displaying both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full.

This example dates to 1977 and features a classic 36 mm case with an acrylic crystal, exactly the vintage Day-Date look collectors love.

A detail we absolutely adore here is the Spanish day disc, a collector’s touch that makes the watch feel instantly more personal and a little more playful. Rolex offers the day display in 26 languages, and pieces like this show why that feature is such a big part of the Day-Date’s charm.

Inside ticks the reliable automatic Cal. 1556, and the watch is fitted with its original 18k yellow gold President bracelet, which complements its gold dial beautifully.

If you are looking for a true vintage Day-Date with presence, history, and the perfect bit of character, this is your piece. We warmly invite you to try it on in-store at Reestraat 3, Amsterdam.

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?
