Rolex Day-Date Vintage , 1803

We are proud to present this classic Rolex Day-Date, reference 1803, for sale in mint condition for its age.

Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date became the brand’s ultimate expression of prestige and refinement, remaining one of the most recognisable luxury watches ever created. As the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week written in full and the date on the dial, it set a new standard for both elegance and practicality. Crafted exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date has long stood as a symbol of success, timeless style and enduring Rolex heritage.

This vintage example, reference 1803, is housed in the classic 36mm Oyster case crafted from 18ct yellow gold and fitted with the collection’s signature fluted bezel, creating the unmistakable silhouette that has defined the Day-Date for generations. Its most distinctive feature is the beautiful beige linen step dial, which adds warmth, texture and vintage charm to the watch, pairing perfectly with the rich tone of the yellow gold case. The dial is completed by the classic day aperture at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock, preserving the timeless layout for which the model is celebrated.

Protected by a plexi-glass, and powered by an automatic movement, this watch blends vintage Rolex character with everyday wearability. The dial is silver baton, with very fine linen apperance. A new Rolex black alligator leather strap with a Rolex pin buckle, offering an elegant and refined alternative to the traditional bracelet configuration.

Originally made by Rolex is 1965, this Day-Date is supplied with a Rolex travel pouch and a Rolex receipt for replacement strap and buckle dated November 2025. Serial number is 110***0.

A beautifully preserved vintage Day-Date with rich character, classic proportions and unmistakable Rolex presence, this is a timeless dress watch from one of the brand’s most admired eras.
