This Watch is running well and keeping time!
When you start collecting vintage Rolex Day Dates you slowly realize how many variants are available. So many different reference numbers and variations from dial colors/finishes, case colors/finishes, bracelet textures/designs, and so much more. The Day Date model was introduced in 1956, it was the first watch to display both the day and date in full which was an innovation ahead of its time. The day date model was mainly created in precious metals and today we have an exceptional time capsule to offer.
Here we have the vintage Rolex Day Date with an ultra-rare ghost grey dial in 18kt white gold from 1973. What makes this dial so special is how all the white text disappears into the light grey dial when turned slightly on an angle with only the Rolex coronet showing at 12 O’clock which gives it that ghost effect.
It is a very under-the-radar Day Date and as everyone likes to say, stealth wealth. It is the reference 1803 which signifies its non-quickset day and date functions as well as the acrylic crystal. The bracelet fits wrist sizes of 6.5-7.5 inches. Nice creamy lume on the white gold hands and the dial. 18kt white gold case, bracelet, crown, and case back. 20mm lug width and 36mm case size. All parts are original including dial, movement, and caseback. Both the dial and case are in great cosmetic, untouched condition.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Fantastic experience. Great watch. Reached out to Danny through his website. Was contacted by two great representatives who were both incredibly helpful. Went through most of the transaction with them. As we got to the final stages and shipping I connected with Danny. The watch was as described and the whole process was seamless. I’ve gotten responses from Danny directly post my purchase when I’ve had a quick follow up conversation which I so appreciate. Beyond a great selection of beautiful watches if you are looking for a good customer experience in what can be an intimidating vintage watch game I really do recommend DVW.
Danny was knowledgeable and friendly, with knowledge of multiple brands and a wealth of inventory to delight any vintage watch aficionado (or newbie looking to learn in my case). He set me up with a beautiful and functional watch that’s built to last, and fitted it with a great band that fit me and the watch perfectly. While perusing, I got to watch him interact with other sellers/resellers, and you can tell he is well respected within the community on 47th street, and works hard to procure the best possible inventory by dealing with everyone honestly and straightforwardly. If you want something unique, or just want to look at some beautiful watches, Danny’s your guy. I look forward to coming back and growing my collection!
Danny and his team were phenomenal to work with. They were kind, knowledgeable, and, personable. I got the exact watch I wanted for an extremely reasonable price and Danny and his team (I worked with Ben as well) gave me the confidence that I was buying a certified, real product. Couldn’t recommend them more if you’re looking for vintage watches.
What a find this place is. They have such interesting watches that I don’t normally find elsewhere. Unique watches and a unique experience. Already purchased three watches and am very satisfied. These make excellent gifts for yourself, your loved ones, anyone who appreciates a piece that’s character and class. A watch from here is definitely a conversation starter, and I received multiple compliments.
