Also referred to as “pie pan” dials due to the sloping edge of the dial. This detail is why these four digit Day Date references are much admired amongst collectors. The dial is signed “T Swiss T” referring to the original tritium luminous used on the dial. The dial has not been touched and remains in excellent original condition.
Ref. 1803 in 18k solid yellow gold with fluted bezel. The 3.0 million serial number in-between the lugs denotes to the year of production to 1972.

The case has been professionally polished by our watchmakers giving the watch a stunning aesthetic. The yellow gold bezel has been sympathetically polished by hand so that it retains the original fluted edges. This is one of the reasons why our watches are presented in the highest quality in terms of condition.
