{"product_id":"rolex-day-date-1803-w-gold-linen-dial-papers","title":"Rolex Day-Date 1803 w\/Gold \"Linen\" Dial - Papers","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week and the date on its dial. Beyond this practical complication, it became synonymous with influential individuals throughout the following decades, including celebrities and leaders of industry. After adorning the wrists of both U.S. Presidents and other world leaders, the nickname \"President\" became synonymous with the model. Today, the Day-Date represents a tradition of Swiss watchmaking excellence and serves as a testament to Rolex's unwavering commitment to quality, precision, and enduring style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis four digit example, circa 1977, features a less common \"linen\"\/gold dial that adds some nice texture over the \"champagne\" variants we see more often. This particular dial has black enamel in the indices. We believe the 1803 is a perfect entry point into the realm of Day-Date collecting from a relative value standpoint and many collectors would say it is the best reference to wear on a strap for its slimmer feeling case dimensions. This piece remains in fantastic vintage condition with a very well preserved dial showing no distracting wear. The case has gorgeous rosy patina and retains a super sharp bezel. The lugs are all full in proportion, remain sharp and there are deep, crisp hallmarks still present. If you've been looking for a special Day-Date to wear on a strap, this one hits all the right notes and comes with punched warranty papers for added provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67764292845844,"sku":null,"price":16600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-day-date-1803-gold-linen-dial-papers-hero-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny_4e98c3f4-c33a-4ba5-b142-430122d5f7de.jpg?v=1793320516","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-day-date-1803-w-gold-linen-dial-papers","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
