Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 | 18ct White Gold | Blue Dial

A beautifully preserved example of the iconic Rolex Day-Date reference 1803, presented here in 18ct white gold with a striking deep blue dial. The dial displays a rich, even colour with applied baton hour markers and matching white gold dauphine hands — clean, unfussy, and utterly classic.

The fluted bezel is crisp and well-defined, retaining strong ridges that speak to careful ownership over the years. The “T SWISS T” notation at six o’clock places this example firmly in the late 1960s to mid-1970s production window, during which the 1803 was powered by the celebrated Cal. 1556 movement.

Presented on a black crocodile-pattern leather strap, giving it a smart, dressy appearance while the original bracelet is either stored or sourced separately.
