Rolex Day-Date 1803 Grey Dial with Original Box and Double Punched Paper in 18k Yellow Gold
type: Product
description: The Rolex Day-Date, introduced in 1956, was the world's first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full on the dial. Positioned from day one as Rolex's flagship model, the Day-Date has always been crafted exclusively in precious metals—18k yellow, white, or Everose gold, as well as platinum. Over the decades, it has become one of the world's most enduring symbols of success, prestige, and timeless elegance. Presented here is an reference 1803 from 1969 executed in 18k yellow gold. The case remains in lovely condition, retaining strong lugs and a beautifully defined fluted bezel. The highlight of this Day-Date is undoubtedly its rare grey pie-pan dial. Characterised by its stepped outer edge—resembling an inverted pie pan—it features delicate Arabic minute numerals around the perimeter, applied baton hour markers with white inserts, gold printed text, and warm cream-coloured tritium on both the hands and hour plots. The subtle grey tone gives the watch an understated elegance rarely encountered on early Day-Date references. The English day disc perfectly complements the dial, while the watch is fitted with a period-correct 18k yellow gold President bracelet featuring the desirable non-concealed clasp. The clasp is stamped "1/70" and fitted with correctly marked 53 end links and fits currently wrists up to 19 cm. The watch comes with its cool original inner and outer boxes, two booklets, Rolex Polishing cloth, the original invoice stating sale in 1970, the punched guarantee booklet stating a sale in August 1970, and its punched Chronometer paper, a unique and incredible set! The Day-Date has always represented the pinnacle of Rolex. Add a seldom-seen grey pie-pan dial, and you have a watch that quietly stands apart from the crowd, this reference 1803 is a wonderful opportunity to own one of the model's most elegant early executions, get touch!
