The present watch is a beautiful and early example of the Rolex Day Date Ref.1802 from 1966. The 1802 reference is defined with the smooth bezel for a much sleeker look and is much rarer than the 1803 with the fluted bezel. This watch is so good in many ways. The original Wide Boy dial is a stunner. The visual effect of the wide markers on the silver dial is magical and catches your eye immediately. We are thrilled to offer this beautiful 1802 with the original box, punched Chronometer Bulletin, Dated Warranty booklet as well as with the rare El Day Date booklet. A Day Date doesn't always need a Stella, Stone or Diamond dial to be special, the Wide Boy is a good example for that.
