Rolex Day-Date 1803 Rose Gold, 1964

A stunning example of the Rolex Day-Date 1803 in rose gold.

The Rolex Day-Date Reference 1803, an iconic and revered timepiece, embodies the perfect blend of history, elegance, and craftsmanship. With its roots tracing back to 1956, the Day-Date has long been associated with world leaders, earning its nickname "President" watch. This reference 1803, circa 1963, is a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The Alluring Rarity of the Rose Gold Variant
While the majority of Day-Date watches were produced in yellow gold, this exquisite example comes in the much rarer rose gold, adding a touch of warmth to its already pleasing look. It's these subtle differences that make watches like this such a pleasure to own.

Distinguishing Features: Acrylic Crystal and Pie-Pan Dial
The vintage Rolex Day-Date Reference 1803 boasts two distinctive features that set it apart from its modern counterparts: the acrylic crystal and the pie-pan dial. The use of acrylic crystal, which precedes the era of synthetic sapphire crystals, contributes to the watch's authentic vintage appeal. The pie-pan dial, with its downward-angled outer edge, adds a touch of sophistication and distinctive character to this already exceptional timepiece.

A Worthy Investment: Embrace the Legacy of the "President" Watch
This exceptional example of the Reference 1803 is not only a testament to Rolex's storied history but also an investment that will surely appreciate in value over time. Its remarkable condition and the rare rose gold variant make it an irresistible choice for discerning collectors who value both horological significance and future investment potential.

The Watches

Are all watches authenticated?

All our watches pass through a double authentication process to insure their authenticity. We also provide detailed photos of the watch from all angles to allow you to undertake your own anlysis. Finally as with everything, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly team

What if something goes wrong with the watch

Whilst all our watches are fully serviced before sale, if something does go wrong, we'll repair it for free as part of our 1 year warranty

Do watches come with original box and papers?

It depends on the individual watch. You can see details under "The Basics" heading on this page. For the majority of vintage watches their original box and papers have been lost to time. Whilst they are nice to have, it’s important to note that “box and papers” DO NOT authenticate a watch despite what many in our trade say. It’s also important to realise alot of sellers (including some of the most well known in the UK) put together full sets of box, papers, hang tags etc by buying blank paperwork and boxes in the secondary market. This is a very regrettable, but unfortunately common occurrence in the trade but something we will never do!

How do I know it will fit?

For metal bracelets we provide the size it will currently fit in the description section of this page. If this measurement is too large or too small we are able to assist in either adding or removing links. We also offer this service, post service on a at-cost basis (i.e. we don't add a margin).

Can you change the strap?

Absolutely! If you don't like the current strap, let us know and we'll change it for free! We maintain a broad selection of styles and can also source straps to your specification free of charge.

Can you source something similar?

Absolutely! If its not quite what you’re looking for just get in touch and we can source one with our Free, No Obligation sourcing service. You can contact us on phone, live chat or simply submit the details of what you’re looking for on our “Find a Watch” page.

Shipping & Returns
