Rolex Day-Date 1803 in 18k Rose Gold Pink-on-Pink Gay Frères Bracelet Portuguese Disc

Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date set a new benchmark in watchmaking as the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week fully written out on the dial. Produced exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date quickly became Rolex’s flagship model and, over the decades, evolved into a lasting symbol of prestige, success, and influence, worn by presidents, world leaders, and cultural icons alike. We always strive to source beautiful and interesting Day-Dates, and today we are delighted to offer a particularly attractive example. This watch is executed in 18k rose gold — already a far less common configuration than its yellow gold counterparts — and retains a lovely sharp case and beautifully defined bezel. The true highlight, however, is undoubtedly the warm soleil-finished pie-pan dial in matching rose tones, giving the watch an exceptionally rich and harmonious appearance. The dial features elegant stick hour markers, crisp black printed text, and softly aged cream-coloured lume plots that further enhance the warmth and character of the watch. Another especially charming detail is the seldom-seen Portuguese day disc, adding an extra layer of rarity and collectability to the piece. The non-concealed clasp President bracelet remains in superb condition and is stamped “G F” for Gay Frères — the legendary bracelet maker responsible for some of the finest and most beautifully engineered bracelets of the vintage era. A highly desirable detail collectors always love to see. This rare Day-Date and its slow-setting movement have been fully serviced by our watchmaker and are ready to be enjoyed for many years to come. One of those rare Day-Dates that immediately stands apart through colour, warmth and tremendous appeal ,get in touch!
