Rolex Day-Date 1803 Grey Soleil Dial in 18k Yellow Gold

Over the decades, the Day-Date has evolved with subtle refinements—smoother movements, easier-to-use settings, more daring dials. Yet its essence has never changed.

 

Whether in a classic champagne dial or the vibrant tones of onyx, lapis, or malachite, the Day-Date is instantly recognizable. It’s a watch that doesn’t follow fashion but instead embodies timeless authority.

 

Here we have a lovely ref. 1803 in yellow gold with a strong case and reeded bezel. The pie-pan dial is finished in a light slate grey tone, with beautiful cream-colored lume, simple stick markers, and crisp black printed text. The day disc is in Spanish—a charming detail. The watch is fitted with its original Rolex leather bracelet, lightly used, along with an 18k Rolex pin buckle. The slow-set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

 

The Day-Date is a wonderfully versatile watch that you can enjoy experimenting with on different straps. Please get in touch, and we’ll be happy to make a deal!
