Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 Yellow Gold Black Lacquer Dial

SGD $14,500.00
| /

The appeal of this Day-Date lies in its striking black lacquer dial, a configuration that gives the reference 1803 a notably more understated and modern appearance than its champagne dial counterparts. Paired with a sharp 18k yellow gold case retaining strong lug definition and a crisp fluted bezel, this circa 1973 example captures the character collectors look for in an early Day-Date. A classic 36mm case and pie-pan dial complete one of Rolex's most enduring designs.
