Original silver wide boy dial

Original silver dial with wide baton indices & matching hands. These dials have become known as “wide boy” dials and are one of the most collected dial variants. 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.

18k solid yellow gold case with fluted bezel

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. This reference features a plexiglass crystal with a “Cyclops” magnifying the date display and a 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.

Rolex President bracelet

Original 18k solid yellow gold Rolex President bracelet. The clasp is correctly dated 1/71 (first quarter of 1971). The links have some light stretch as expected for an original President bracelet from this year but still in excellent condition.

The Rolex Day Date is the ultimate classic Rolex, worn by the famous, and the Presidents…

Ever since the launch, it has been Rolex’s signature luxury timepiece, only made in precious metal, and with many interesting dial configurations.
