1972 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 18k Yellow Gold Silver Dial 1803
An unpolished, barn find condition 1972 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date in 18k yellow gold, reference 1803, featuring a perfect silver dial with magnificent aged lume plots and matching hands.
The 1972 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date reference 1803 in 18k yellow gold is a quintessential expression of Rolex’s flagship model and one of the most recognizable luxury watches of the 20th century. Its warm, solid gold case paired with a classic silver dial creates a refined yet commanding presence, perfectly suited to the model famously known as the “President’s Watch.” Featuring the hallmark day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock, the watch is powered by the robust caliber 1556 automatic movement, celebrated for its reliability and precision. The fluted bezel and matching gold Oyster or President bracelet further underscore its timeless elegance. As an early 1970s example, this 1803 embodies the enduring appeal of the Day-Date—an icon of prestige and sophistication that remains as desirable today as it was when it left the Rolex workshops over half a century ago.
