Rolex Day Date 1803 Linen Sigma Dial – 1975
Rolex Day Date 1803 Linen Sigma Dial – 1975
This is it, the top of the tree for the Rolex range and the very best series in our opinion. For those unfamiliar with Day Date’s, the 1803 is the first in the series and is differentiated from later models for its pie-pan dial and non-quickset day and date adjustment. This pie-pan dial configuration lends a depth not seen in later models, and the open 6’s and 9’s adds vintage charm. For us, the 36mm is the original and best Day Date configuration, and the 1803 is the pick of the litter.
This particular example presents in absolutely amazing condition. Features a superb and rare linen sigma dial in perfect condition. All plots are in place, and believe it to have had a nice colour matched re-lume at some point along with the hands. Open 6’s and 9’s on the date wheel.
Case has been polished, but lugs remain even with clear numbers between them.
No marks on the plexiglass, and only a few super light hairlines on the side of the case, and some small marks from strap changes, and some very minor marks on the brushed surfaces.
Comes mounted on a hidden clasp President bracelet with 20 links. Will fit up to a 7.4in wrist. Shows medium stretch, and is in lovely condition overall.
Unknown service history. Winds smoothly, date and day changes sharply at 12. Timekeeping is within COSC specs.
Comes with Watch Vault cleaning cloth and Travel Case.
