Pink Love - It is known that the majority of all 1803s has been produced in yellow gold and only a small portion in white and pink gold, with the later being the rarest ones. When they come up, we see them mostly on President bracelet but this is different. This fantastic 1803 in pink gold is from 1966 and in overall excellent condition The case is fat and sharp, we bet it hasn't been worn much in its 56 years because its looking so good!. The dial is silver and has beautiful door step markers at 6 and 9. The day is displayed in Portuguese like on other Pink 1803s we have seen. A highlight of this watch is the Swiss Rivet bracelet which is in excellent condition. Really, it is hard to believe that a Oyster bracelet can look that good after 56 years. This watch is a bomb on the wris. The color of the gold is pink and we would say, 'they don't make these any more like they used to". A seriously rare watch in excellent condition.
