1976 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 18k White Gold Diamond-set black matte Dial 1803

A perfect condition 1976 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date in 18k white gold, reference 1803, featuring a perfect and extremely rare diamond-set black matte dial with magnificent aged lume plots and matching hands.

The 1976 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date ref. 1803 in 18k white gold stands as a refined expression of mid-century horological prestige, blending technical reliability with understated opulence. Distinguished by its rare black matte dial, the watch gains a subtle, almost velvety depth that contrasts beautifully with the brilliance of its diamond-set hour markers, each carefully applied to enhance legibility while elevating luxury. Powered by Rolex’s automatic movement and featuring the iconic day and date display spelled out in full at 12 o’clock, the 1803 embodies both innovation and tradition. The white gold case and President bracelet lend a discreet sophistication compared to its yellow gold counterparts, making it especially appealing to collectors who favor elegance over ostentation. Today, this configuration—particularly with its original matte dial and diamond setting—is prized for its rarity, vintage character, and enduring status as a symbol of success and timeless design.
