This Rolex Day Date is the 1803 model and dates from 1965. Fitted in the 36mm 18 carat yellow gold case, the pie-pan dial is one that dips down at the edge giving it such an elegant and distinct look to it.
Sitting perfectly on the wrist and fitted on a leather band, this has the look that will so easily allow it to be worn in the boardroom as much as giving it a very smart casual look that will make it perfect for any occasion.
Inside it is powered by the beautiful 26 jewelled automatic Rolex calibre 1555 that was produced for nearly 20 years and this one runs perfect and comes with our twelve month warranty.
A great example of a classic Rolex Day Date that will remain forever stylish and elegant.
