Description

This is the Rolex Day-Date 1803. Within the Rolex line, the Day-Date is often the model that is associated with the highest level of prestige. Introduced in 1956, it was the first timepiece to display both the day and the date on the dial. The nickname, “The President”, was derived from this timepiece being gifted to then President Dwight Eisenhower. A lesser known fact, however, is that the nickname actually refers to the bracelet that accompanies the watch rather than the entire timepiece itself. Traditionally associated with prestige, vintage Day-Dates have recently increased drastically in demand with the understanding that condition and rarity is key. This particular one has a flawless matte blue dial with perfect lume plots and comes on a yellow gold President’s bracelet.

Condition

This Rolex 1803 Buckley is in very good vintage condition. The case appears unpolished and remains in very good condition. There are some small nicks on the bottom left and right lug but no major dings. The serial and reference are still very visible between the lugs. The dial is clean with no flaws and the tritium plots are full and intact, which is uncommon for timepieces from this era. There is some light stretch as to be expected on the yellow gold bracelet with 19 links but it still remains in very good condition for its age.
