This reference 1803 from 1973 embodies that legacy in solid 18K yellow gold. The silver sunburst dial is what sets this example apart. Against the warm tone of the gold case, it creates a high-contrast look that reads cleaner and more restrained than the champagne dials typically paired with yellow gold. The result is a Day-Date that carries the full weight of the model's reputation but presents with a sharper, more deliberate aesthetic.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Crown, Clean Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example presents in Very Good Vintage Condition, with a case that retains its strong, classic lines and solid 18K yellow gold that shows visible wear consistent with its age. The silver sunburst dial is clean. The watch retains its original Rolex-signed crown. It has been fitted to an aftermarket leather strap, which complements the dial and gives the watch a more versatile feel than the traditional President bracelet. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFluted Bezel, Stick Indices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe fluted 18K yellow gold bezel frames a dial laid out with applied gold stick indices, the Rolex crown, and the day window at twelve and date window at three. With the gold tones kept to the indices and hands, the silver face stays easy to read at a glance. On the grey leather strap with its gold-tone buckle, the watch has a softer, more casual look than it would on the traditional President bracelet.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1803\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Day-Date\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1973\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36mm (Excluding Crown)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluted 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aftermarket Leather Strap with Buckle\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Sunburst, Gold Stick Indices\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56.6g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1868\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit And Customization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch should feel like it was made for your wrist from the moment you put it on.
