Rolex Day-Date 1803 Black Dial - Original Papers
flawless black dial - white gold case - original papers
Vintage Day-Date models with black dials are among the most sought-after variants. The deep black tone creates a striking and refined contrast with the white gold case. The flawless condition of the dial, combined with the unpolished white gold case showing only minimal signs of wear, makes this example a true rarity. Especially appealing are the beautifully aged, cream-colored tritium dots on the hour markers, each of them preserved in perfect condition.
The watch is further complemented by its original Rolex chronometer certificate as well as the original timing certificate from the year of sale — both correctly punched with matching reference and serial numbers.
On the wrist, this vintage Day-Date impresses with its timeless and confident elegance. It is no coincidence that the Day-Date was worn by heads of state and numerous prominent personalities over decades, earning it the nickname “President”.
