A true vintage icon from the golden era of Rolex. This Rolex Day-Date 36 reference 1803 features a full 18k yellow gold case – the original “President’s Watch” that has symbolized success for over half a century. The champagne dial has developed a beautiful patina that only age can provide. Produced in 1973, this example is in excellent 9/10 condition and comes as a complete full set with the original box and papers – a rare find for a watch of this age.
The case is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold. The original fluted bezel is present and in great condition, catching the light with every twist of the wrist. The champagne dial features the classic day window at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock. The hands and hour markers are also in 18k gold. This watch is powered by the legendary Calibre 1556 movement, known for its robustness and the introduction of the quickset date function – a significant innovation in 1973.
This particular example comes on a high-quality replacement leather strap. The original bracelet is not included, which is reflected in the accessible £7,495 price point. The watch head itself is in fantastic shape for its 51 years. Full sets from 1973 are incredibly rare, and this one includes both the original box and original papers – a major selling point for any vintage collector.
