Brand: Rolex
Typology: Vintage dresswatch
Year: 1963
First released in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date was the first wristwatch in the world to display the date and the day of the week spelled out in-full in a window on the dial. And just a few years later, Rolex would introduce us to the ref. 1803, one of the very earliest Rolex Day-Date watches ever released. While the Day-Date – also known as the “President” for its ties to world leaders.

Many former US Presidents were known to wear the Day-Date, including Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and John F. Kennedy – although his association with the watch was much more scandalous than the rest. It’s rumored that Marilyn Monroe gifted JFK his gold Day-Date and that he never even wore the timepiece because of the implications that it would have had.

This specimen has an incredible look, shiny dial with a fascinating patina and a sharp case.
The white gold is classy but not so "bling" to be worn in all occasions.
