WTS: Rolex President Day-Date 1803 "Silver Linen" Full Kit

[x2046]

Price: USD 19,500.00

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. Vintage Day-Dates have recently increased drastically in demand with the understanding that condition and rarity is key. This particular example comes in yellow gold and houses a unique silver linen dial.

Condition

This Rolex Day-Date 1803 is in very good vintage condition. The case is strong with thick and even lugs and the double hallmarks are clear on the caseback. The yellow gold case has uniform patina. The 19-linked bracelet exhibits little to no stretch. The silver linen dial is clean with no flaws and has full and even lume plots. It also comes in a full set with the original box, certificate, manuals and hang tag with the corresponding serial number. The watch is in full working order.
