Description

Pink Love       - It is known that the majority of all 1803s has been produced in yellow gold and only a small portion in white and pink gold, with the later being the rarest ones. When they come up, we see them mostly on President bracelet but this is different. This fantastic 1803 in pink gold is from 1966 and in overall excellent condition The case is fat and sharp, we bet it hasn't been worn much in its 56 years because its looking so good!. The  dial is silver and has beautiful door step markers at 6 and 9. The day is displayed in Portuguese like on other Pink 1803s we have seen. A highlight of this watch is the Swiss Rivet bracelet which is in excellent condition. Really, it is hard to believe that a Oyster bracelet can look that good after 56 years. This watch is a bomb on the wris. The color of the gold is pink and we would say, 'they don't make these any more like they used to". A seriously rare watch in excellent condition.

THE DAY-DATE 1956

In 1956, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date made its debut. Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. With the President bracelet, originally created specially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people.

LEADERSHIP

Rolex watches have long been associated with those who have, over time, guided the destiny of the world. No matter their vision, their domain of excellence, or their achievements, the one thing these exceptional men and women have in common is often their watch: the Day-Date.
