1959 Rolex Day Date Arabic Hindi Ref. 1802

King of the Desert       - Vintage Day Dates with Eastern Arabic dials have a very unique character. They reflect wealth and prosperity in the old days and makes you ask who owned the watch. Believe it or not, we are still asking this to ourselves. It is safe to say that Vintage Day Dates with Arabic Hindi numerals on the dial are rare by numbers, if we had to look for pictures on the internet, we will maybe find 15-20 pictures. The way the numerals are designed, how the calendar is indicated in Arabic language, its like a watch from One Thousand and One Nights, its magical. This Day Date reference 1802 is one of those magical watches, fitted with a champagne dial with Arabic Hindi or Eastern Arabic numerals and Arabic calendar discs. The configuration of this watch is very interesting, rather than being loud with diamonds on the bezel or special bracelet it is the most subtle look a Day Date can have. The smooth, or domed bezel in combination with the Riveted Oyster bracelet reflects a rather understated look. Very decent yet, extremely special. The condition of this very watch is stunning with a healthy and well proportioned case and a bracelet which is not showing much wear for a 64 years-old watch.

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.
