Rolex Day-Date 36mm - Ref. 1803

For sale is a classic vintage 1973 Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and presented in excellent vintage condition and full working order.

The 36mm case is crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and paired with Rolex’s iconic fluted bezel which remains sharp. Its classic size and balanced proportions offer a comfortable, elegant presence on the wrist, capturing the timeless appeal of the vintage Day-Date.

The standout feature is its champagne linen dial, with a fine woven texture that adds warmth and depth. Depending on the lighting, the dial shifts beautifully from a rich, darker champagne to a lighter, softer golden tone. Applied gold baton hour markers, matching gold hands and the raised Rolex coronet complement the textured finish, while the stepped outer edge gives the dial its distinctive vintage profile. The lume plots have darkened with age, adding character. The day display sits at 12 o’clock, with the date at 3 o’clock magnified by the Cyclops lens.

The watch is fitted with a generic black leather strap with a textured finish, secured by a generic gold-tone Rolex-style buckle. The black leather provides an elegant contrast to the warm yellow gold case and champagne linen dial.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 1556 automatic movement with day and date displays, completing this beautifully presented example of a classic vintage Day-Date.
