Old Money - Like an old G Wagon will look good in a line-up of Supercars, the vintage 1803 in its iconic configuration is as classic as it gets. The watch offered is an early example of the 1803 in yellow gold. The watch is in beautiful vintage condition showing some wear from age and will never really look old. The great thing about watches like these is, they look like old money, once you wear it it will look like you already have it for ages. |

Brief History
Rolex Day-Date
Arguably one of the most iconic watches ever made, the Day-Date aka the Rolex President was introduced in 1956 and was the first to feature both the day and date in dedicated windows on the dial.
The Day-Date is the top model in the Rolex line-up and comes in an array of configurations with rare and special dials and case decorations. It has only ever been made in precious metals with Automatic movements and historically with an elegant diameter of 36mm - the perfect size for an iconic dress watch.
