Brand: Rolex
Model: Day-Date Reference: 1803 Year: 1961 Serial number: 689411 Material: 18 carat rose gold Strap: Leather Diameter: 36 millimeters Condition: very good Box&papers: no Description: "the special one". Very rare Day-Date with a total of FIVE special features that are rare on their own, but probably unique in this combination. Highlight number 1: The case was made in rose gold, which is a rarity. Rose gold cases made up only about 8% of the total production volume of Rolex Day-Dates. The condition of the case is very good. It comes fresh from our specialist for case refurbishment, has received an extremely gentle refurbishment here and shines with great proportions, wonderfully sharp edges and a perfect matt finish Highlight number 2 and 3: The dial used in this watch is an extremely rare variant. It is a so-called double-dash underline dial. If you look closely at the upper lettering, you will notice that there is a hyphen between Oyster Perpetual and Day-Date. This is absolutely rare, as Rolex only used this graphic representation for a very short period in the 1960s to the early 1970s. Underline refers to the horizontal line that was applied in the lower half of the dial below the Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified. This horizontal line was intended to inform watchmakers and other personnel that this watch, contrary to its marking with swiss at 6 o'clock on the lower edge of the dial, was not equipped with classic radium, but with a new mixture with less radioactivity. The underline here is positioned in the center of the lower half of the dial, it stands out and I have never seen it in this form on a Day-Date before. The condition of the dial is also very fine. It has the typical signs of ageing for dials from the period, but is an absolute eye-catcher on the wrist. Highlight number 4: The set of hands is another special feature. These are so-called Dauphine hands, which are immediately recognizable by their unique style. Super rare for Day-Dates. We have deliberately left the hands in their original condition, as they exude wonderful vintage charm. Highlight number 5: The bezel. This is the first fluted bezel shape designed and used by Rolex for the Day-Date. The tips are much more frequent and the overall shape of the bezel appears much more delicate. This bezel is extremely rare on 1803 references, as it was only used until the early 1960s. We have given this rose gold beauty a new Molequin strap in green, as well as a beautiful vintage pin buckle. In my opinion, a perfect color combination. Conclusion: A watch that boasts a total of FIVE great highlights. Unique? I would say yes. Definitely a must for every Day-Date collector. |
