Day-Date 36

Original grey sunburst dial with gold batons & hands. This stunning dial is rare to find in this condition from this period and has a slightly more toned down aesthetic to other dial variants. The day aperture features an English day display. Referred to as “pie pan” dials due to the sloping edge of the dial, this detail is why the 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 showing a nice patina. The dial has not been touched and remains in excellent original condition.

The reference 1803 in 18k solid yellow gold with fluted bezel. The 1.2 million serial number in-between the lugs denotes to the year of production to 1966. It features a plexiglass crystal with “Cyclops” magnifying the date display and an original gold Rolex Oyster Twinlock screw down crown. 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.

This watch is fitted with a genuine Rolex leather strap and a gold plated Rolex pin buckle. Other styles of leather straps are available and can be ordered on request.
