The history of the Day-Date is maybe one of the most important ones from the Rolex line-up. Launched in 1956 as a niche model and only produced in precious metals (yellow, white- and rose gold or platinum). The price of the Day-Date was way costlier than any other Rolex model, but that didn’t affected the desirability. It immediately became Rolex’ flagship model due to its popularity among a lot of prestigious people, for example presidents, which is also where its nickname ‘President’ comes from. The very first Day-Date references (65XX and 66XX) were replaced by the 18XX series in 1959. One of the key-features of these references are the iconic so-called Pie Pan dials. The outer ring of the dial slopes downward from the flat centre, which looks like an upside-down pie pan. Which is always appreciated by collectors. We all know that the dial is one of the most important features of a watch. That’s exactly why we get excited when we find a special dial like this one. It already is quite hard to find a well-preserved 1803 in white gold, but finding one with a white dial from this period is something else. Plus this isn’t your regular white dial, because this is a matte white dial which is even more rare. It’s a pleasure offering these unique watches, because it’s unlikely to find and see another one soon. The watch is fully serviced by our watchmakers and comes with one year of warranty!
