Lot Essay

Launched in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date was the first timepiece to feature an instantaneously changing day and date function at midnight. Exclusively crafted in precious metal, the timepiece has undergone very few aesthetic changes over the past 68 years and it remains the flagship watch of Rolex. The 36 mm. size, such as in the present lot has remained a collector favored size.

The present reference 1803 is ultra rare and attractive due to its seldom seen 18k pink gold construction with sigma dial with diamond indexes, further enhancing the watch. The case is well-preserved with a relatively sharp bezel and lugs given the age of the watch, making it a perfect addition to any collector's trove of vintage timepieces.
