Rolex Day-Date 1803 Minute Track
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 variant is uncommon due to the minute track that runs on the outer ring of the dial. It also retains its original punched papers.
Condition
This Rolex 1803 is in good vintage condition. The case appears to have been lightly polished in the past but the case retains fat and even lugs. The two hallmarks are still present on the lugs and the dial and crystal remain clean. The lume plots have been removed. This timepiece comes with the original punched papers.
