While the vast majority of 1803s feature silver or champagne dials with baton markers and hands (features that have remained until today), the present example, one of the very earliest 1803s produced features these gorgeous “claw” markers dial and “tapered” hands. Day-Date enthusiasts will know that condition is paramount. Unlike sports models such as the Submariner, signs of polishing are far more apparent on Day-Dates due to their slimmer profiles, refined case lines, and the use of precious metals.

That’s not a problem here, however. This 65-year-old watch remains in amazing condition. The case is still very strong, the original Jubilee bracelet is especially impressive with virtually no stretch, and the Rolex coronet remains beautifully sharp.
