WHY WE LOVE IT
The Rolex Day-Date "President' is arguably the most important dress watch in history.
Worn as an accessory with a fine bespoke suit or with jeans and a t-shirt, a solid gold Rolex might just change the way you think about precious metal wristwatches. And going with a true icon, worn by everyone from President Eisenhower to Tony Soprano, makes the idea of adding a little extra shine to your wardrobe that much more compelling.
This particular piece, a Reference 1803 is finished in solid 18k yellow gold and features a lovely champagne Tritium dial with applied baton indices and matching handset, a magnified acrylic crystal, a fluted 18k yellow gold bezel, and a matching 18k yellow gold President with an early signed blade clasp. Spared the fate of so many 1803s, this particular Day-Date remains in excellent condition throughout, with thick sharp lugs and deep hallmarks. This is quite simply a lovely example of one of our favorite vintage Rolex references!
When only a gold watch will do - meetings with heads of state or the heads of the Five Families - a Day-Date is always the right choice.
