Description

The White Knight      -      We are offering an excellent example of a Rolex Day Date 1803 with Sigma dial from 1973 in white gold which seems to be in completely raw and untouched condition. The case is fat and even with well defined lugs and showing beautiful factory proportions. It seems to have been a faithful companion for a long time and would tell stories if it could talk. The bracelet is matching and stamped 1/76. The silver dial is mint condition with all Tritium dots being  present and fully intact. The luminous material has aged to a very dark vanilla color and is matching with the original hands. It's very unusual to find a Day Date in this condition and even harder with Arabic calendar discs. This is one of those watches you put on and never take off.

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.
